​Instructions:

1. Thread two wooden disc beads, one daisy spacer, and one metal bead onto an eye pin.
2. Use side cutting pliers to cut the eye pin, leaving approximately 1 cm of wire.
3. With pliers, create a small angle by bending the wire slightly at the end.
4. Using round nose pliers, create a loop at one end of the wire.
5. If the hole in the cowrie shell is too small for the jump ring, carefully enlarge it using a bead reamer or small round file. 
6. Using pliers, open a 9mm heavy gauge jump ring.
7. Attach the opened jump ring to the cowrie shell.
8. Attach the eye pin loop to the heavy gauge jump ring attached to the cowrie shell, ensuring it is securely closed with pliers.
9. Attach an earring hook (which also has an eye pin loop) to the top of the eye pin loop using pliers.

If you're looking for a creative way to upcycle your plastic grocery bags, then you'll love this eco-friendly DIY project! With just a few supplies, you can transform those bags into a boho-chic bangle bracelet that's perfect for any casual occasion. Not only is it stylish, but it's also a great way to repurpose those plastic bags that would otherwise end up in landfill. Give it a try and see how easy it is to turn trash into treasure! 

Instructions:

1. Prepare a plastic grocery bag by removing any stickers or labels.
2. Cut both sides of the plastic bag to make it a long rectangular shape.
3. Fold the plastic bag into thirds and cut it into three pieces.
4. Make strips: Layer the three pieces on top of each other and fold them in half. Cut them in half again.
5. Repeat the process twice more. 
6. Tape the top of the strips together to secure them. Now you have a large tassel.
7. Attach the top of the strips to a clipboard, if you have one, to make braiding easier. Divide the strips into three equal sections and start braiding a 3-strand braid.
8. Braid until you reach the desired length for your bracelet (approximately 7-8 inches depending on wrist size). Cut off any excess plastic bag strips. Tape the end of the strips together.
9. Leaving 1 inch or so, apply fabric glue on the plastic braid and wrap yarn around it.​
10. You can use different colors of yarn for a more colorful bracelet. Wrap the yarn every 2 cm or so.
11. Leave 1 inch or so at the end of the plastic braid, and tape two braid ends together to form a ring.
12. Finish wrapping the braid with yarn until it is completely covered. Apply a final layer of fabric glue to secure the yarn in place.

​
Let the glue dry completely before wearing your new plastic bag bracelet. Enjoy!
