Intro: How to Make an Embossed Bracelet With Coffee Pods and Bicycle Tire

Hello everybody, we want to show you another way to use a bicycle tires and Nespresso coffee pods to make a bracelet. The materials we use to make this bracelet are: used Nespresso capsules, cleaned inner tube of a bike, jump rings, lobster clasp, beads of choice, jewelers tools, bigshot and sizzix circles (3/4 inch) die and a circle punch a little smaller than the circles die of 3/4 inch. We hope you like our Instructable.

STEP 1: Watch the Video

This video explains in detail how to make the bracelet

STEP 2: Prepare Your Bicycle Tire

Open up the inner tube of a bicycle tire and wash with water and soap. When your done, use a die or punch to cut out 8 circles. Perforate both sides of each circle.

STEP 3: Prepare Your Coffee Pod

Flatten a coffee pod entirely and open it back up again. Cut of the top and the bottom. Flatten a bit more and cut our 8 circles as well with a circle punch a but smaller than the one used for the inner tube. Pierce each piece on both sides.

STEP 4: Attach All the Pieces

Now attach the inner tube circle together with a coffee pod circle to a flower bead (or another bead of choice). Continue until all pieces are attach. On one side add a chain extender and on the other side a lobster clasp. And your bracelet is done. We hope you like this Instructable!
