Make Bracelets out of Plastic Six Pack Rings
These little things aren't very hard to make and aren't a big deal, but they are unique and will make you look like a trendsetter who can take what everyone else throws into the trash into something cute and pretty!
Steps
- Pull the bottles or cans out of the plastic six pack rings, but make sure to not break the rings.
- Cut the rings apart. You may want to trim the outside of each ring to make them smooth.
- Decorate each ring with fabric, sequins, buttons or whatever takes your fancy, and stretch one (or more) over your hand and onto your wrist.
- You can pick your favorite color or any design you want.
- Enjoy your rocking bracelet/s.
Tips
- Try coloring them with Sharpie Markers for a more colorful and fun appearance! (Just be sure that they are dry before you put them on!)
- Try using sharpies or plastic paints to decorate your new bracelets.
- These are meant to be the type of bracelets you don't take off, day or night, until you cut them off. So wear them for a while.
- You can write anything that you want around the edge.
- The bracelets can be for a friend or someone special.
- Tell your friends how to make them if they ask. Let your trend go around the school.
- If the inside of the ring is a little sharp and hurts your wrist, take off the bracelet by cutting it, and make a new one. But this time, before you put it on, pull a pen-knife along the inside of the ring until it becomes smooth.
Warnings
- Please use scissors to cut up the extra rings before you throw them away. Many garbage trucks spill trash during travel and if those rings fall into a water-body (pond, lake etc) they will choke, cut, or trap the animals there. It kills many, so please cut up the rings before you discard them in the trash.
