    Resin would be your best bet, if you don't know how to do it or want someone else to do it I can recommend someone who specialises in that kind of thing if you like

    hi! I don't know of anyone but I know how you could do it yourself! it would involve resin as someone mentioned above, which you can get from hobbycraft or my recommendation is tiranti (they have a website) I'd experiment with it on a similar fabric first so try painting on layers at a time to build up a protective coating or finding something you can use as a mould to pour it into and use straight away. if you dont know about resin its basically a liquid form of plastic which hardens when mixed with resin hardener, and its clear so your wristband will still be visible inside it its quite easy to use so you should be ok to do it yourself, I practice with consistancies in an ice cube tray as once dry they pop out quite easily, hope this helps!

    have a look at PennyDog's website - she makes resin jewellery and even has some books for sale - PennyDog Jewellery - Handmade jewellery by Kerry Wilkinson

    I'm sure if you sent her an email she'd answer your questions. I know her via Folksy.

    Oooh yes I've got Pennydogs book (it's excellent) she covers a resin with fabric pendant in the book but I'm sure you could adapt the idea
