recycled tea cup bangle bracelets

Lindsay Pemberton began making heart shaped pendants from vintage tea cup handles and then realized that if she sliced the cup she could make bangles.

Do you have a treasured tea cup that you want to preserve? What a lovely idea!  The full collection can be seen on Clever Bastards, a new website showcasing the best of New Zealand art and design.  Read the ‘Creative Upcycler’s story here.

  1. What a fantastic idea! I love vintage china and have been collecting tea cups for some time….I still want to use them in combination with pc as I’d envisioned (had plans for using the handles in a few different ways). Someday, maybe I’ll get to it! Thanks for the great find, Susan…I’m sending the Clever Bastards link on to my artistic New Zealander kids..

  2. incredible idea! I’ll bet they sound like music on your wrist, too.
