Cut elastic into 4 – 5” pieces
Cut the webbing into 2 – 3” pieces and 2 – 2 1/2” pieces
Cut rough velcro into 2 – 2 1/2” pieces
Cut soft velcro into 2 – 3” pieces
Cut ribbon into 2 – 3” pieces
Lightly burn the edges of each piece of webbing and ribbon with a lighter to prevent fraying.
Take one 2 1/2” piece of webbing and a 2 1/2” piece of rough elastic.
Sandwich the ends of two pieces of elastic between the webbing and velcro, with 1/2” of elastic under the velcro, and stitch around the edge of the velcro.
Make sure to go over the end with the elastic twice to ensure a secure hold. Repeat for the other sleeve.
Next, take the 3” piece of webbing and 3” piece of smooth velcro and sandwich the exposed elastic ends between the two, also placing 1/2” of the elastic under the velcro. MAKE SURE the two pieces of velcro are not on the same sides of the webbing.
When you lay the completed project on a flat surface only one piece of velcro will be seen. The other will be touching the flat surface.
Repeat for the other sleeve.
Finally, take the decorative ribbon and place it on the 3” piece of webbing, opposite the smooth velcro, and stitch around the edge of the ribbon.
Repeat for the other sleeve.
