Living Creatively provides a tutorial showing how to make this wristlet. The process involves constructing the wristlet using three equilateral triangles for the sides and one for the bottom, creating a unique and functional shape. This simple DIY project is ideal for sewers at any skill level looking to create a quick and trendy accessory. You can experiment with different fabrics to make each wristlet unique.

    Hi.
    I live in Ireland where crafts hardly exist, but a friend in Ohio sent me your web address which I obviously found. Trouble is that I can’t get up the tutorials. I know that at my age I should be more computer literate, but hey – you can’t be good at everything ! Any advice please ?

      Susan,
      I’m not sure why the tutorials aren’t loading for you. They’re just links to other websites. The only thing that comes to mind is that they are set up to open in a new window rather than loading in the window that’s already open and viewing Craft Gossip. Are there security settings on your computer preventing newwindows from being opened? Wish I could be more help. –Anne

    I can’t seem to get the pyramid purse tutorial either! However I can get the others…
    It’s coming up with an error message.
    Any chance you could re-load it please? x

      It looks as though their site is in the middle of some software updates. That may be causing the problem. If so, I suspect it is just a temporary issue. –Anne

    That site has been down for months now, but it looks like the author has finally posted a PDF of the tutorial on her site: http://www.nicolemdesign.com.au/tips/pyramidpurse%20%282%29.pdf.
