About
Based on Pop Tab Bracelet by Creative Origins
My inspiration came when I saw a cowboy with a pop tab hatband on his hat at a rodeo dance. I examined the band, and this is what's evolved, I didn't have a pattern or anything to work from, just memory and imagination. I weave ribbon, strips of fabric and even fun wool through the tabs. I also make hatbands, belts and necklaces and use as much recycled material as I can find, shopping at thrift store bag sales, and cutting strips from everything I find. I found cutoutandkeep recently, and then found all the pop tab items here, so I wanted to share my versions.

Hi Megan, thanks for liking my creations! Most of them are beer tabs, lol. I don't drink soda or beer, but I have a bunch of friends collecting tabs for me, and my son and his friends consume quite a lot of beverages, lol!

Thanks! I enjoy making them, that's for sure. Just be sure to bleach the tabs, then clip and sand the sharp bits from where it comes off the can - that's the most time-consuming part. If you don't sand well, the tab will rip/snag the ribbon.

I love all the colors and textures you put into these! I'll have to try making a similar one for my hat.
