Bracelets/bangles for a 60cm Obitsu?

[Evelien]

... what size should they be..?

My Gretel is still on her way but I'm going crazy in accessory shops haha, I'd love to know what size 'bangles' (bracelets) I need for her, so I can buy some cheap rings. Does anyone have any idea..? Inches or cm/mm are fine . Any input is very very welcome

I got some brackets in the mail, they turned out to be tiny hair ties. That way they could stretch over the hands if needed!

[Evelien]

I don't know what brackets are, if I google search for 'brackets' images I only find braces (for teeth) haha, so I'm not sure what you mean exactly? Sorry, language barrier I guess... But just today I bought those tiny coloured rubber bands as bracelets for my smaller Obitsus, is that what you mean..? But for my big Gretel I'd love to have non-stretchy (or only very slightly stretchy) bangles, so if someone could estimate/measure the needed size for a bangle that I can slip over the hand with a little bit of effort and then won't fall off, I'm very very very happy!! ^^

This is kind of strange, but what we've done for our Tea Gardner 60cm Obitsu, was cut off the tops/mid section of a pair of 1/6 tall boots!

They make great bangles as they're the right shape, have a good thickness, and have a very slight suppleness to be able to get over the hands.



You can paint them if you need different colors, too. ^^

Cool idea! Can you tell me what size they are? (diameter)

By the way... are the hands of a big Obitsu just as removable as the hands on a small Obitsu..? Cause in that case the bangles don't even have to be big enough to slip over the hands.. lol. Didn't even think of that.

[SetsunaKou]

Yes, we took her hands off to get the bracelets on. ^^ They're not as easy to get on/off as the 1/6 Obitsu, but they do come off with some persuasion. ^^

The 'boot' bracelets are about 7/8" inside diameter. ^^

:hug:

That big? I bought 18 and 19mm rings and I thought they'd be too big, but apparently they'll be too small then . (7/8" is 22 mm)

Remember, with the large Obitsus the hair dryer is your friend.

[Evelien]

Haha yeah but I want the bangles to bangle . I don't want them to be stuck on my Gretel's arms too tightly.

And spell checker fails me again, by brackets I mean't bracelets.
