Upcycling: Yarn-Wrapped Bracelets

up-cycled yarn-wrapped bracelet

Recycled Crafts points us to some Etsy sellers who are upcycling with style.

Sellers like dinolover77 are wrapping old bangle bracelets with yarn and fun embellishments. The results are divine!

It looks like everyone linked in the original post has sold out. You might have better luck searching Etsy for “yarn wrapped bracelet” or “sweater bracelet”. Enjoy!
