Bracelets are one of my favorite accessory. They are simple, usually harder to loose than necklaces or ear-rings, can be very different and both stylish and not too fancy. It's even better, when you can make them by your self. And even more better, when you can call it a upcycling project!
And this is exactly what I've done on Saturday. So, would love to share it with others and here it goes..
1. What you will need is a bigger plastic bottle, some tape, glue, foil, white and colored fabric and of course scissors plus some imagination. For a start I tried just different fabric, nothing fancy.
2. I didn't add a photo of me cutting the bottle into those circles, but you get the idea.
3. Cut the bottle piece like it's shown, so you can fit it to your arm (make it proper width, but have in mind, that it will be wrapped in quite a bit, so the space for your hand to go through will shrink).
4. Use tape to set that proper width.
5. Then take some foil stripes and wrap around it. I used triple layer foil stripes, you can use even more, so that the bracelet would be not that loose.
6. Take some plain fabric and wrap it around to give a better shape and softness.
7. Get your fancy fabric stripes and wrap it on the bracelet in any way you want (looser or tighter). By the way, you might not want to see the messy sides of the fabric, so double in them.
8. Finally put some glue on the tip of the stripe and stick it inside.
9. And here you go, cute, ecoish, one of the kind bracelet!
