Cuff bracelets are great for when they match an outfit. However, over time they become no longer pertinent to fashion or your wardrobe. Here are eight unique uses to repurpose old cuff bracelets.

Bouquet Holder. One simple way to repurpose an old cuff bracelet is to use it as a holder for a bouquet of fresh flowers. Place the stems inside the cuff bracelet before inserting them into a flower vase. The cuff bracelet will set down inside a large vase, keeping the flowers together and arranged neatly in the vase. This is especially great for cuff bracelets that have no opening and are just solid plastic.

Napkin Ring. Another great way to repurpose old cuff bracelets is to use them as napkin rings during a dinner party. Simply wrap the bracelet around a cloth napkin. Paint the cuff bracelets the same color or leave them just as they are for a hodge podge appeal.

Pencil Can Decoration. Create a unique and easy pencil can desk organizer. Simply paint a cylinder shaped chip canister with spray paint. Adhere a cuff bracelet around the can with hot glue to create a stylish decoration! This also makes a great up cycled flower vase project.

Hair Tie Holder. Cuff bracelets that open up and snap closed also make for great upcycled hair tie holders! Thread the hair ties onto the bracelet and snap shut. This will keep hair ties from being strewn across a bathroom or in random areas all over the house.

Key Ring Holder. If you have multiple key rings for multiple vehicles, houses, offices, etc. a cuff bracelet is a great way to condense them all. Thread silver key rings with keys onto the cuff bracelet and snap closed. This enables them to easily be take off, as needed, and put back on!

Ribbon Spool Holder. In a craft room or wrapping paper station, consider using a cuff bracelet as a ribbon spool holder! Cut the cardboard spools to fit on the cuff bracelet. Thread the spools on and enjoy having all your ribbon in one place.

Place Card. Repurpose cuff bracelets as place cards for a dinner party. Use a paint marker to apply a guest's name in regular or fancy lettering. Attach the cuff bracelet directly to the chair or on a piece of ribbon tied to the chair.

Wine Charm. Need a quick and easy way to differentiate wineglasses during a party? Wrap cuff bracelets around the base of wineglasses to determine who is drinking them! This is a great way to recycle bracelets when you have no two alike.
