Silver Bangle made from plastic bottle

Can you believe it started as a plastic water bottle? No one will believe this custom bracelet is reclaimed and reworked plastic.

Pencil
Masking tape
Paper towel
Scissors
Plastic drink bottle, 20 oz.
Tracing paper
Craft knife
Pattern of your joice
Aluminum metal tape (plumbing dept – home improvement stores)

# Wash and dry bottle. Carefully cut off top and bottom of bottle using craft knife, leaving smooth center.
# To create bracelet, cut lengthwise down center section. Use scissors to cut a 2” wide strip.
# Apply metal tape to bracelet, smoothing out any wrinkles. Use scissors to trim edges straight if needed.
# Wrap bracelet around a jar or bottle and tape ends in place to secure.
# Trace pattern onto tracing paper. Position pattern in place on bracelet and add a piece of tape to secure. Use pencil to trace over lines leaving an impression on bracelet.
# Start flow of dimensional paint on paper towels, using an even pressure on bottle for a smooth line. Referring to photo, squeeze thick lines of Silver Metallic over pattern. Set aside to dry.
