a new, fun way to recycle!
I saw someone wearing a necklace with a pop tab on it, and i thought it was sort of cool. I made one, but then decided it looked too plain and colorless, so I tried weaving some together, and this is what I came up with. The time might vary depending on how fast you can string, but that's how long it takes me. Enjoy!

    it should look like this. keep repeating steps 2-3 until the bracelet comfortably fits around your wrist (but not too long because it does stretch a little).

    when you are done, take the two strings on either end and tie them together in a knot to tie the bracelet off. to wear, simply tie together the end strings.

    you can also criss-cross the yarn to make neat little x's in between the tabs, use shiny elastic string, and/or paint the tabs to make each bracelet different and personalized and fun!

If you want to make the tabs colorful, DON'T use Sharpie. It rubs off the tabs very easily. Happy crafting! Happy
