Recycled Bracelet

Your morning joe just got even better! Make a Recycled Bracelet from Candace Jedrowicz out of coffee cup sleeves. This is a fantastic and easy craft from recycled materials.


 

Materials:

• Paper punch
• Clear dimensional lacquer
• Colored beads
• Stretchy string
• Glue

Instructions:

1. I punched out some flower shapes and some round ones, too. I flowed a layer of clear dimensional lacquer on each shape.
   
   
    
2. The main color was yellow, so I wanted to add a lot of colored beads. It worked well for the round cutouts, but the flower shapes were large, so they only got a few beads.
   
   
    
3. I used 1mm stretchy string and two different size beads to attach the flower shapes together.
   
   
    
4. Each end the string was threaded through the holes on alternating ends of the flowers, front to back. Then I flipped them over and added four more beads before tying a knot and gluing it for security.
