Day 1 - Pop Tab Bracelets


I recently found this on the web and thought it was a just such a creative idea. Recycling our everyday pop tabs into functional and colorful pieces of jewlery. This is a perfect craft for ....well anyone really... especially those crafty at heart types of people!


Step 1 - Gather 8-10 STANDARD pop tabs (depends on the size you need)

Step 2 - Find a coloful/printed ribbon you will use for the "bracelet"

Step 3 - Using one pop tab weave the ribbon through the two wholes (like shown)

Step 4 - Repeat this weaving step until you have the desired length

Step 5 - Using a paperclip or safetypin, bend it around the bracelet ends until connected

Step 6 - OR tie the ribbon in a bow OR add a small bead to the end of the ribbon

Note- Colored pop tabs make this craft even better!

Note - Make sure the pop tabs are clean and facing smooth side out

Note - There are endless ways to make these ; so get creative and experiment
