Recycle Soda Pop Tabs Into Chain Mail

Step 6 The Sleeve Area

The sleeves are relatively easy to make compared to the shirt section. Begin by making 4 rows of 20 tabs wired together. On the next row decrease 3 tabs on each side so you should have 14 tabs now wired together. Decrease 1 tab on each side for the next three rows, so you will have one row of 12 tabs, one row of 10 tabs and a final row of 8 tabs. This is your sleeve and you will need to make two of them.
