The coffee is in a tin now. To make the bracelet, I turned the top over to show the silvery inside, and kept folding it to the bottom of the bag, then cut that off with pinking sheers. The confetti-fish (with holes) are held on via a tag gun (microtags). The bracelet was a bit large so I cut it down to size and held it together with a button on each side, fixed in place, which was a bit tricky to sew on (hint: don't use a thick needle, and use a bradawl to make a hole first). You could simply whip the two edges together.
