Creative Beading

Ideas for unique jewelry I can make? Preferably bracelets..?

I love making unique bracelets and stuff. Like a toothbrush bracelet? I made one the other day and had to go get more to make them for people.
And other ideas that would involve not a lot of money, maybe recycling, and no beads?

I would love to see the toothbrush bracelet.
I have seen bracelets made out of candy wrappers, those were really neat. Also the bottle tops from soda or beer in glass bottles.

Here are some instructions I found when I googled it.
