This is why you're supposed to cut up old credit cards before throwing them out :) As an alternative, what about gift cards? They're the same material, they usually have pretty patterns and designs, and they don't link to any personal information. cool idea, but could be a major security risk if you lost the bracelet…even a canceled account stays on record for at least seven years, and could be used to gather more information about you and steal your identity and possibly some money as well.

Just hold the needle in an open flame for 5 seconds or so and quickly run it thru the plastic where you need a hole. Works like a charm!
