I also found the written instructions with photos HERE on this page of the wonderful Creative Origins blog.
I found these instructions to be very easy to understand.
Thank you Creative Origins for these easy instructions!
I used silver colored wrapped elastic cording and it looks nice with the tabs. I pulled the elastic so that I didn't leave any slack between the links. When I finished and tied it all together, there is just enough stretch so that the bracelet slides over my hand. I used 26 tabs and the bracelet is 8 inches.

That's pretty neat!
This is amazing! Really pretty. I would have never thought something so available could be made into this. Love all your jewelry and I can just see this on your Granddaughter. Glad you shared it with us.
Who would have expected something so pretty from drink tabs? Great work!
This is way totally awesome. :)
wow! ah-mazig! Love it, I would LOVE to make and have that!
I didn't notice at first that they were pop top tabs until I scrolled down to your earlier post. Wow, that looks amazing !
Wow, that is really very cool.
What a fantastic piece! It looks like something that would be sold in a boutique for a nice sum! And it's so shiny, too!

Wow, recycling bling!
Joy I am jealous even I am not this clever
Hi, I just found you on the Blogs of Note too! Congrats on your feature!
I recently saw soda tab jewelry, and now my oldest is saving all the tabs. Hopefully we can make something some day! =)
I'm now following your blog!
This is very cool! I used to collect soda tabs years ago and eventually threw them out for want of inspiration. I might start saving them again.
Hi, I like the design and keep up the great masterpieces on your blog
very cool. gotta start saving those soda cans tops. off to check the recycling...
This is gorgeous!! I would definitely wear it.
I am making a messenger bag from Coca-Cola cans, and I can't wait to finish it.
I'm glad people are starting to think green more and recycle. Recycled accessories could be the next big thing!
That's really cute... I'll have to try it sometime. :)
Wonderful work! I love visiting your blog, there are always fresh ideas or old ones revamped with your creativity...thanks for sharing so much : )
Wow that looks really cool. I am surprised you can make something that cool from ring pulls!!
Great blog! I found you through Blogs of Note, and posted a link to your blog from mine.
I love this bracelet and the cd photo album!

This looks very neat, I'm going to start collecting tabs so I can make my own.
This is a seriously cool bracelet- I am wishing for more hours in the day so I can be as crafty as you! Keep it up!
Excellent Job!... Awesome Idea!

I LOVE this idea!
I love your recycled pop tab bracelet. What a great looking piece of upcycled jewelery!
i like ittt :D
thinking of selling it to the public? :D
I was talking to someone the other day about - do you remember making CURTAINS with pop tops- the kind with the toungue part?? I did that back in middle school. She had no idea what I was talking about!
Someone else remembers those, right??
PS: IS it true the recycling places will give your more $$ for the tabs?
Deanna,
I remember the tabs you are talking about. You pulled them up and pulled on them and the "tongue" and tab just came right off. I didn't make the curtains but I remember them. I don't think the tabs are worth more. It is so much for a lb. of aluminum regardless if it is the can or the tab.
Thanks for stopping by!
