DIY Upcycled Baseball Bracelet

Eli loved this DIY upcycled baseball bracelet idea when we saw it on pinterest a while ago.  We quickly dug out an old baseball from the stash in our garage and made one.  He’s been wearing it every day since.  It’s such a fun idea for a baseball mom or any baseball-loving kid and it makes a great tween gift idea.

DIY upcycled baseball bracelet

This upcycled baseball bracelet is made from a real baseball.  The baseball’s stitching holds it on the wrist and the bracelet is created by the way you cut the leather off the ball.  Isn’t it fun?

DIY repurposed baseball bracelet

I didn’t photograph an entire tutorial but you can find one easily on pinterest because many other sites have shared this repurposed idea.  

It simply involves cutting through the leather cover of the ball with a craft knife {be careful that you don’t slip when you’re cutting around the curves of the ball … you don’t want a nasty cut in your hand}, a little unwrapping of the red stitching threads, and some braiding of the stitching thread to create the part that holds it onto the arm.

If you don’t have extra baseballs lying around your house, thrift stores usually have a pile of them in with the sporting goods.

These bracelets would make a fun party favor or a gift for baseball team-mates, wouldn’t they?  And the more worn they get on the wrist, the better they look!

If you have an old baseball sitting around, try your hand at making one.  They’re so simple and lots of fun!

    Love it! My kids got similar bracelets @ the SF Giants game but they are black with orange thread…I like yours much better 🙂
