Yes. That's right. You can upcycle Pringle cans or water bottles or some other plastic bottle you can easily cut with scissors or an exacto knife into *Awesome Bangle Bracelets.
Ready for the tutorial? Alright here we go......
Find something your hand easily fits into. Now, I don't mean an oatmeal canister. Or a kleenex box. Come on people. We're looking for a nicely proportioned cylinder. Stay with me....
Pringle cans work perfectly for me.
Next we need to thicken the bracelets and sturdy them up a bit.
Some people like to use strips of quilt batting. I prefer newspaper which I always seem to have on hand, especially now that my son has a paper route. So, grab the news and your Mod Podge, turn on a good movie (like The Importance of Being Earnest....anyone else LOVE that movie?) and go to town...
Now let them dry and you'll end up with something like this...
Now comes the fun part. Embellishing your new bracelets!
Add ribbon and some fun trim...
Strips of fabric, rosettes and lace....

| I know, right? Pringle Can Bracelets. Who would have thought this was even possible? |
Beads, bias tape and more lace (I love tying a sassy bow on the side. yeah, that's right. I said sassy.)...
Bright fabric, paper and ribbon....
Maybe even Mod Podged sheet music (ack! I love this one. It's my favorite. Come on, right? It's so cool)...
Or wrap them in embroidery floss...
There are so many options. Why not grab some maps? Or dictionary pages? These are so stinking cheap that you can make armfuls to match every outfit in your closet! (Ok. This might be a bit excessive. And, really...if you have this kind of time on your hands....you should come clean my house. I'm just sayin'.)
Enjoy!
*I originally submitted this craft to Family Fun, but sadly they already had something similar in the works.

ReplyDeleteLOVE this idea! I have REALLY small wrists, so I have a hard time buying any bracelets without having to adjust/alter it in some way.. I may still have to adjust the size on these, OR just find a smaller sized container, but I LOVE the idea just the same! Can't wait to try them! Thank you for sharing how, and have a great weekend! ~tina

ReplyDeletegenius!!! what an awesome idea for gifts. and an excuse to eat pringles. whoo hoo!
ReplyDeleteThis craft is wonderful and just what we need for the 4th of July celebrations. I work with Developmentally challenged adults and one of our projects is to do beading and other art work to sell and each individual earns money. We will use your idea with red, white, and blue for this project Thanks so much margaret ogilvieThe Place
ReplyDeletetotally going to do this with my sister
ReplyDeleteThese look so good. Love being able to use chip containers. Thanks for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love The Importance of Being Earnest. Such a funny movie, and so stylish.
Love this idea and want to try it!! However, I have..( I know this will sound stupid to experienced crafters) a question. What's the technique for covering with the paper strips? I understand the mod podge and kind of understand the photo but how do you wrap the strips of paper? Where does the strip start and stop or does it matter? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNice tutorial........... I loved it........
ReplyDeleteI am a real craftaholic person since childhood .. I started making bracelets n other things when I was in 5th grade.. You won't believe, due to my craft craze my eyesight became -5 !! Talking about jewellry, the only two things I love to make are bangles n bracelets.. This tutorial of yours, there's no doubt is the best in the whole world :) Keep it up.. ^_^

Absolutely inspiring! I love bracelets, crafts and recycling. I’ve been looking for an idea to make a memory bracelet. Thank goodness I grabbed some maps on my recent trip to Aruba. I’ll use the map to make the last strips so I can highlight some of my favorite places on the trip! Thank you!
