I saw a purse made like this downtown in a high dollar boutique and really loved and wanted one. I really want to make one for myself. Thank you for your instructions.
Hey I am on step 12 and it says the remaining 9 bracelets. But if you only used 5 for the first panel and we made 16 of the "bracelets" shouldn't we have 11 bracelets left for the next panel?!? Did I do something wrong or did we just have 2 extra "bracelets"? PLEASE HELP!!!
I have been making a lot of pop tab bracelets and now want to try the purse. The directions seem simple but I might need to practice sewing it together so it looks professional. Thanks for the directions.
I have a purse of my own that I bought at a second hand store for five$$ and everyone stops me and ask to touch it and check it out that it has come to the point that I am gonna start making them I love your how to it is great thanks!!
Amazing i love it! But i am a little confused with all of the panels and how to make each chain like how to connect each individual tab to another to make the chain. Very awesome tho if i can figure it out and collect tht many tabs im DEFINITLY gonna make one.
By the way thanks i have made bracelets but i never new it was like it. The steps. I live in Iowa my friend told me she saw a purse at the Art Center for $100.00 pop tap purse.
Now I've seen this I'm sulking! I have to wait until after the HSC to start any projects *boohoo*.
But on the upside this just bustled itself to the top of my list :p

I've been trying to make one for ages! People have been collecting pop tabs for me and they keep asking me when will I finish my purse XD Thanks to you I can begin :p
I'm making this but slightly confused. You need 16 strips of 27 which is used for 1 panel of 5 rows and 1 panel of 9 rows which is 14 rows. Where are the other 2 used? The 4 strips of 15 are for the side. Do they connect to the last row of the 9 strips? Please can you help. I can't wait to finish it! It is so fun!
Little Miss Deerae -- Totally looking forward to the first version of this :-D Good luck!
MrsStellie -- Honestly, my whole family drinks a TON of soda... so when my fiance' comes over, he usually brings a few cases of soda. between the five of us, we usually get through two whole cases in a week. Patience is definately a huge factor though! If you get impatient, you CAN buy the poptabs off of ebay, but be prepared to spend about 6-10 dollars for the tabs, plus whatever they ask for shipping. (You can also buy spiffy colored tabs for a rediculous amount too, but i'd personally just collect some and then spray-paint them, lol). I asked my family and friends for tabs -- which led to a lot of square ended beer tabs, but they all worked out in the end! good luck
Kiri -- Oooh! i wanted to make a chainmail shirt for the Larp my brother and i are putting together, but being as large as i am, it would take SOOOO many tabs o.o (same with the bikini top XD) so yeah :-3 definately let me know how that goes! i'd love to see it when it's finished! :-D
Mwhaha. I have been saving pop tabs for 2 years in the hopes of making a chain mail vest. I ran across this by chance, and was very happy to see that someone else had a similarly crazy notion! I currently have 5-6 hundred tabs, and it's nowhere near the amount I will need...
But, if somewhere in the far future I can start to tackle such an insane project, I'll let you know and turn to this guide for inspiration. :3
haha, blame my aunt on the tabs XD she saved majority of them for me, along with our landlady, and my fam. my brother drinks soda like it's an olympic sport so... XD no problem there!
oh my goodness.
i hate myself T^T
i just went to the recycling depot and deposited 2 bags full of cans... and i didn't take the tabs off! ): BAHHHHHHHHH ):
no no no no no
Since my dad drinks a lot of canned drink I'll save up now and make one of these over summer. I just have to get him to remember....Thanks to the how too!!
oooh o.o a poptab corset would be amazing! :-D i hope somebody does do it! XD i wouldn't have the slightest idea how T.T (plus i'd need soooooooo many pop tabs for me o.o it'd be like a skirt to everyone else, lmfao)
wow, this is great! it reminds me of a night and shining armor suit, so awesome... though im sad to say i'll never try this cause i have no patience what so ever , but you did an amazing job!
haha, thanks for the compliments (and i wish i got an award XD)
I actually get my tabs from various family members (Mum's side, Dad's side, and fiancee's side XD) They're all either chronic soda drinkers, or Beer-Chuggers, so either way i get TONS of tabs. (Mostly saved up for a niece or nephew for school, but then they forget to take them, so i end up with them XD)
And no, no patience at all XD. You should've seen me making this o.O i'm watching cartoons, messing on fb, and doing tabs at the same time... lol. It takes FOREVER. the 24 hours up there is if you did it continously (It took me a total of about 3 days on and off between work and etc.)
Thanks for the tutorial! I love these pop tab projects so much! I've made many bracelets and a belt. Luckily I have saved a lots of tabs after these projects. I can't wait to do this
