How to Make a Pop Tab Bracelet

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

For those of you who like to recycle and be crafty at the same time, here's your chance. These pop tab bracelets can be worn by anyone with an edgy sense of fashion. They look stylish and are easy to make.

Steps

1. Collect the tabs. You'll also need a flat ribbon or shoe lace (of any color) and a safety pin.
   
2. Measure the bracelet. Put the shoe lace or ribbon around your hand to see where you need to cut it.
   
3. String on your pop tabs, one by one, as shown.
   
4. Close the loose ends with a safety pin around your wrist. Fold the ends before you pin them. Have a friend help with this so you don't accidentally poke yourself with the sharp pin!
   

Tips

• You can color the pop tabs before you put them on the bracelet with permanent markers or nail polish.
  
• Alternatives to the safety pin include buttons, snaps, velcro, and any other closure.
  
• You can decorate the ribbon or shoelace by embroidering a pattern on it with a contrasting color with a sewing machine.
  
• This is likely to be a well-received and thoughtful gift by an emo, punk or scene kid. It's personal, quirky and environmentally friendly.
  

Warnings

• Sand down any rough edges on the tabs and be careful when handling them so that you don't get scratched.
  

Things You'll Need

• Shoe lace or ribbon
  
• 7-9 pop tabs
  
• permanent markers (optional)
  
• nail polish (optional)
