Ever come across a plastic container that had some great colors or designs? Instead of putting it in the recycling bin, try upcycling it into a fashionable accessory.

CRAFT has instructions on how to create three funky pieces of jewelry out of a few plastic containers like yogurt cups and water bottles.

Use the instructions as inspiration, and then head in your own crafty direction upcycling plastics into cool wearable art!
