1. Locate your map.

Considering how frequently I travel, I think it's kind of funny that I wound up using an old map of my roommate's for this project. But hey, the Tokyo maps look awesome and reusing is reusing—no matter whose stuff you're reusing.

2. Cut the map into long strands.

The more strands you cut, the thicker your bracelet will be. Wrap two of the strands around your wrist. Leaving a couple extra inches, cut off the excess paper. Remove the strands from your wrist.

3. Fold the strands horizontally.

Use eco-friendly glue to layer two strands until they are the thickness you like. Use a shorter strand to connect the ends of the two strands so that a circle is formed. Allow the bracelet to dry and enjoy!


This project is a great way to reuse an old map and turn heads simultaneously. When people ask you where you got your cool bracelet, make sure you tell them about your green lifestyle.
