I love the way it looks. I'm always so impressed by some of the items that can be made out of it. If you go to this website:

there are amazing items that have been made out of the tabs. I wish I could make things like this, but I don't drink anything that has tabs on it and I'm not sure how to get some.

I collect tabs 4 life, lol! I've already made a necklace out of a few of them. So every time someone would finish a can of soda, they would always bring me the tab so I could add it on 2 my necklace. Thats how much I LOVE tabs. ;)

♥ it!!!
...Too bad I'm so horrible at making them o^_^o
I literally have hundreds of tabs and I have no idea what to do with them.
I'm way to impatient to actually make anything out of them, but I really just don't wanna start throwing them away (I've been collecting them for years, so now it's a habit lol).

Can I sell them? O_o
Do people buy tabs??

Hummingbird.. post pictures when your all done PLEASE Happy

I love tabs, have not been patient enough to make anything bigger than a bracelet yet. Would love to make a costume or something but have no idea where to start. I have lots because my husband is a beer drinker..he is getting annoyed with me because I make him pull off the tabs and put them in a little jar. lol

Lots of people buy tabs, Erica. I'm just not sure how much they go for though.

I've got over 600 tabs now, I counted last week. I have my tabs organised into strings of 100 so its easy to keep track. I want to eventually make a dress with them

I've been wearing a choker (using about 20 tabs) for a few years. When my friends would see it, they'd save them for me. Plus, my mom collects cans so whenever she takes stuff in to be recycled, we take all the tabs off. (of course then she'd guilt trip me when we wouldn't get that much money for the cans...) When I wanted to start making them to sell, I had plenty to get me stated. Happy

You can sell tabs on ebay to people who really want a bunch of them NOW instead of waiting to collect tons of them. You can also make bracelets... I used to do that and sell them at school for $2.50
