Repurposing items for crafts is my favorite. I have been saving my coffee cup sleeves each time I go to Starbucks and I finally decided to craft with them! I thought making bracelets with my daughter would be fun. Little did I know, my son would want in on the crafting too!

So go grab a cup of coffee, and I’ll show you a few ways to create a cute bracelet with that cardboard coffee sleeve and items you probably already have around your home.

Now cut the cardboard to size, then roll it inside out. You will want to decorate the inside. Rolling it like this makes the cardboard curve the correct way, so you can wear it.

Gather some ribbon, a stapler, hot glue, paint or any other items you want to decorate a bracelet with. I used ribbon for this one. I stapled the ribbon to the end.

  1. Very cute idea! But how did you secure the ends to make the bracelet? Did you staple it, glue gun it?

  2. Love this project!
    However it’s not really (green) if you are taking extra and not just repurposing your used one.
    Just a thought.

  3. As a former long-time Starbucks employee, I love this craft! I can’t believe how chic they turned out, and I will definitely have to make these myself and share with others. Great idea! 🙂
