    If you crochet, here is a cute one--- http://groups.msn.com/HappyHookeraCr...82663989996736

    If you don't crochet- just measure a piece of elastic to fit your wrist, sew ends together. Make a small "pillow" to attach to the elastic- stuff firmly with fiber fill.

    You could just get a jar lid like a baby jar lid, a scrap of fabric and some polyfil, and elastic. You sew the elastic to fit your wrist or use velcro to close it and hot glue the lid onto the elastic and make a mini pillow with your scrap fabric and polyfil and hot glue it into the lid.

    There was a wrist pincushion posted here on the forums somewhere. I'll try to find it.

    You could also just make a little pillow out of fabric and sew it onto elastic. Like this:
