Well, ok, I'm being silly, but I know there were other people on here who had problems with their IBS bracelets being too big for their wrists, so I thought I'd share what I did to solve the problem.
I cut the bracelet, overlapped the cut edges by about 3/4", punched holes with a standard hole punch, and then used grommets - cheaply available at all craft stores and most Wal-Marts - to secure it. The silicone material punches and cuts VERY easily, and the whole "repair" took about 5 minutes.
So far so good... and it's nice to be able to stick my hand in a pocket without losing my bracelet!

Very good idea and cute too! I was one of those that had the problem of it falling off my skinny wrist so I took the advice of someone and put it on my rear view mirror in my car. I also gave a neighbor one and she did the same.
So clever Casey!

See what your craft store has, and try the leatherwork section, too. I'm actually not crazy about the grommets - I'd rather have had rivets - but I'm carless today, I had grommets on hand, and the crafty bug bit, soo....

Me like. I'm one of those teensy-wristed people (i just gave myself +1 point for that alliteration )!
As a post-punk gal trying to make it in this yuppie world, I heartedly approve!! Go Casey!

What a great idea. I have tiny wrists too and I never thought to do anything like that.
I was thinking of getting a tattoo on the inside of my wrist. I see that you have one on the top of yours. I have a lady bug on my left ankle and want two more. One on the top of my foot (I think. I hear it is very painful) and the other on the inside of my left wrist. I was a little worried about working and having a such a visiable tattoo because I know many people dislike them so much but I guess I could easily cover it up if I found myself in that situation.
