Bracelets From Badminton Strings
Today I was given a challenge to make a bracelet out of some odds and ends of badminton racket strings. I am no badminton expert. I had never even considered that racket strings could be so bright and colourful, of different gauges, and so easily turned into a neat bracelet.
I cut lengths of racket string that are about double one arm’s length in 5 different colours. I tied all the ends together, and started making a 5-finger weaving bracelet.
The finished product looks kinda cool.

I don’t know the best way to close these bracelets. The strings appear to be some kind of plastic (they melt when burned). They are also really strong, so it is unsafe to bond both ends of the bracelet together.
What is the most unusual arts and craft material you’ve used lately?
