Description I started this project maybe 2 months ago, and I've decided to enter it into an art show.
It's a purse made completely out of soda pop tabs!
I've also used string, iron wire and buttons to complete this.
Hopefully I'll get into it!

Comments and critique welcome!
I also need ideas for new projects with the tabs!
I've made: bracelets, necklaces, and belts too...

With some crafting wire. :] You can actually weave the front, bottom, and back together then attach the sides if you want.

xD A million bazillion.
Um...I really didn't count...and I removed a few after I took this pic...but my guess is about...uh...375. Maybe less than that.
Thanks a billion! ^.^
