Measure the circumference of your wrist and your upper forearm where you want the cuff to end. The length from wrist to upper forearm should be around 2/3 the distance from wrist to elbow. Draw out the dimensions as a trapezoid and add one inch on all four sides if you use fabric (add only 1/2 inch on all four sides if you bead to leather). This 1/2 inch gives a little play. The 1/2 inch extra on the canvas is so you can fold over and hem. Good luck.
