Pop Top Tab Jewelry

Thank you for all the comments and suggestion on the pop top tabs! I decided to try my hand at a little jewelry. The below photos are the result of my first try. With a little practice they can be made very quickly. These pieces took me about two hours to make. The bracelet contains tabs back to back so there is no rough side touching the wrist. I used a total of 18 tabs for the bracelet. It is 8 inches long.
I will definitely be playing around with more of these tabs and I do have a plan for donation of any that I may not use. Thank you again for all the suggestions.

    CUTE! Looks like something that would be great as a project for kids during the summer to keep them occupied.

    Very cute. I really like the small beads added to the earrings. It would be cute it you could do something similar with the bracelet to add some color and texture.

    I have heard of doing this but this is the first time I have ever seen it done. Great job. Also, the Ronald McDonald house in local areas will take these. Its easier for them then doing the whole can.

    Cool! By the way, what did you use to connect the tabs together for the bracelet? I was thinking about making some for my friends and I. Thanks for the cute craft idea!

    Hi and thank you to all who comment! Chelsea,
    To answer your question, I had a chain that came from the WalMart crafting/beading section that I took the links from. Since they were oblong shaped, I thought they would work perfect and they did. I opened each link with the needle nose pliars, placed each one between the tabs, one by one, and squeezed the opening back together. I like to do things the easiest way possible!

    Wow, that is so cool. You are quite crative. I just got into jewelry making myself, and when I say just got into it I mean I've thought about it and got a beginers book, and thats about it. Havn't really started making the jewelry yet.

    its nice, but I'd say the pop tab jewely above this is better. Never thought you could do so much with them.
