Briefs on Bottled Water (6) – Water Bottle Crafts
It’s Craft Day on Daily Dose of Art. To continue with our “Briefs on Bottled Water” feature, I bring you two projects recycling water bottles. This is not to encourage the consumption of bottled water, but just to find some use for empty bottles you already have lying around. Make art not trash!
Recycled Water Bottle Bracelets

I found this photo on the internet and thought I should try it out and share with you:
Materials:
empty water bottle
scissors
felt
buttons
crafting threads, needle
lace, ribbons, charms and other add-ons
Here are the steps:
- Cut the bracelet base, following the natural contour of the bottle (3/4 to an inch wide, & for length: try on cut plastic for desired length and shorten accordingly)
- Cut 2 identical pieces of felt to cover the outside and inside of bracelet.(a bit wider than bracelet base to leave room to sew together)
- For the outer felt cover of the bracelet: add ribbons, buttons and whatever you can use to enhance your design
- Put the plastic bracelet base between the two felt pieces, sewing the felt pieces together using the needle and crafting thread
- Your project is done! Enjoy wearing your recycled water bottle bracelet
