Water Bottle Bracelet Revisited

Filed Under: CREATE, Recycling

Yes, yes I know that April is over but I’m still plugging away on the rest of the items in the www.dollarstorecrafts.com ‘s Super Secret Stashbusting Challenge envelope.  When I saw the pretty super thick, super soft fluffy yarn scraps in the envelope, I knew I wanted to try making it into another water bottle bracelet.

As you can see it’s a variegated yarn in shades of reds.  I thought of my mom when I first saw it because her favourite colour is red and big chunky jewellery is just her style!  Since the yarn itself is so thick and soft, I didn’t bother wrapping the bracelet with any quilt batting like I did with some of the other bracelets.  I simply wrapped the yarn around the bracelet shaped piece cut from a plastic water bottle, securing it with glue as I went (I used Aleene’s Quick Dry Tacky Glue and it worked very well).

The yarn just barely didn’t make it all around the bracelet so I had one little part left showing.  I had wanted to embellish the bracelet in some way anyway and this just forced me to be a little more creative about just how to embellish it.  I love all those felt and fabric flowers I’ve seen around the blogosphere lately – usually presented as brooches – and I decided that one of them would be really pretty on this bracelet.

I used some scrap pieces of burgundy felt that I had in my stash and cut them into these rounded triangle/petal like shapes.

At the base of this shape (opposite the point), I applied a dab of Aleene’s No Sew Glue and pinched the two corners together.  I glued 6 of these flower petals together and then another 6 together.  Finally, I glued each of the two groups of 6 together to form a complete flower.

For the center of the flower, I cut a strip of pink felt and rolled it into a coil, securing with glue and then gluing onto the flower.  More glue holds the flower in place on the bracelet.
