FOR THIS PROJECT: It works better if you use a RIBBON instead of yarn/string. Looks nicer too.

I've always loved pop tabs, much so in fact. I've collected them for years and have a pretty big stash now. Up until now, I've had no clue what I wanted to use them for. I always wanted to come up with some cool craft for them, but just couldn't think of anything. Well, now I've got it and it's amazing.

I hope the pictures do most of the explaining.

WARNING: Pop tabs do have sharp edges so do NOT tie tightly around neck.

    Cut off a decent length of string.

    Make sure to leave at least a 6inch tail on this end too.

    NOTE: Do NOT tie this tightly around your neck!!! Pop tabs do tend to have some sharp edges.

    You can always switch it up and make a bracelet or anklet.

That is awesome. I tried to make a bracelet this way ages ago but it completely failed. I was using elastic thread though, so I guess it wasn't rigid enough.

Yes, I have thought of painting them. This was kind of a trial run to see if it would work.
