Pop top braclet

This instructable shows how to make a bracelet out of the thingys on top of soda cans.

Step 1: Supplies

Get a lot of soda can tops. I'm 13 and I used 14 on this one. I used 17 on my other one so get 25 and you should be okay.

You also need string.

And scissors.

Cool one. I made myself one.
When my friends saw it, they shout "Made my one too!".

i still can't get step 2. :( how to put the 2 ends through the loop.

[warmachine91]

how do you get it off and on?

[WhyHello]

*is confused* a pretzel knot?

try turning the tabs sideways.. i make bracelets like this, its kinda hard to explain. Anyway, i love sodatab crafts! ^_

I tried the other 'ible soda tab bracelet that's sideways & it's more comfortable to wear than this one as it doesn't lay flat unless you'd tap it partially round on a can or mandrel. I like any upcycling, I tell folks, "Tell me what you throw away & a craft likely can be made from it."

I wonder if you could use the stretchy elastic used in jewelry making. That way you wouldn't have to be so concerned about getting it on and off.

I like it! It's suprisingly easy to make, and look pretty Kick@- if I do say so myself.

[cokalola]

this is easier than the others I LOVE IT!!

kool

[KitschyKoo]

Elastic cord could be used instead of string so that it could be slipped over the wrist

[BuffaloNickel]

i was thinking of doing that but was too lazy.

[chaitanyak]

wow! i like this!

[mg0930mg]

This is nice but I don't think 25 is a lot, some people use 100-200 for a necklace.

[Father Christmas]

it really isnt alot. i only used 26, (a one inch gap for a clasp) and i have a +9.5in wrist.

[BuffaloNickel]

I'm going to add a double version soon. It should be up in a week tops.

[TheCaptain]

Awsome! I love simple little crafts like this that look cool in the end. Would you mind if I attempted to improve on it a bit?

[BuffaloNickel]

Not at all. im open to any modifications, so do whatever you want with it.
