Wow, I never thought that this would be so popular I'd love to see pictures of everyones bracelets/belts/chokers/whatever they used it for
I forgot to add how many tabs you will need (estimated)
Choker - About 60 or so

Belt - Depends on your size, but you will need a lot O.o (also give yourself PLENTY of extra string

This is cool!

I will try it but I guess I will have to collect tabs ._.
- You don't get cans easily here due to restrictons But I'll try my best (or go across the border where they are still sold )

~ just because it looks so cool in your tutorial

Kirschu In reply to KrootonzNCheeze [2010-07-04 19:53:25 +0000 UTC]

Woah. I finaly managed it to get enough. Took me quite a while, I know. I had exams in between, thats my excuse
I persuded my friend to give me his collection he made a few years ago and don't want anymore *-*
I will start soon. I wonder, Is there a particular reason why you say they shouldn't be painted?

KrootonzNCheeze In reply to Kirschu [2010-07-24 04:33:21 +0000 UTC]

Sorry about the late reply, so you finally got enough? It takes a while huh?
Anyways, I always use the tabs colored from the factory because they are anodized, which makes the color last for a long time and is an even, thin, hard coating. You could try to color your own, however all of my attempts have not worked for a variety of reasons (didn't look good, rubbed off, made them thick or sticky), but you are welcome to trey.
Let me know how it turns out!

Kirschu In reply to KrootonzNCheeze [2010-08-03 12:52:13 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes it does ,
I'm glad I'm done now.
I wanted to look for colored ones at first as well but they are like super-duper rare here so it would take even longer like ages to get them.
I have enough for at least two bracelets now. So I thought I wil try coloring and if it does not work I will make a normal one. I will upload when its finished at show it to you of course.

PaniMake808 [2009-09-01 08:53:02 +0000 UTC]

OMG! FANTASTIC! I FEEL LIKE MAKING ONE but I dunno how many pop cans I am supposed to have and how long the string is. ._.

KrootonzNCheeze In reply to PaniMake808 [2009-09-01 20:47:22 +0000 UTC]

THANK YOU!
Umm I think for my bracelet I used around 25 or so tabs, and I think I usually go around my wrist loosely 3-4 times to get the amount of string I use. I know that there will be extra, but thats better than not enough... trust me, I tried making a belt, and was like 3 inches too short >.<

No problem, GOOD LUCK Let me know how it turns out alright?. Ya I was trying too, but didnt have enough string. I'll probably end up making one later once I'm less lazy *-*

KNT [2009-08-13 00:21:11 +0000 UTC]

How do you stop the scratching of the back side of the tab against your wrist?

I sell bracelets made of pop-tabs, and always put the bottom layer upside down, so as to put the 'ugly' side, as you call it of the two together. It saves a lot of scratching.

Anyways, nice tutorial. And an interesting way of making the bracelets.

KrootonzNCheeze In reply to KNT [2009-08-13 20:18:01 +0000 UTC]

I've done that before, Ive also had someone tell me that they tried putting fabric on the bottom to stop that. Personally, I take a small hammer and bend the scrathy part in half so that it doesn't stick up anymore. That, or I cut it so that its not scratchy.

Made a bracelet! [link]
too bad we only had one Monster can xD

The tabs scratch a little, but I guess I'll figure out a way to sew/connect fabric to the back of the bracelet for protection o.O

other than that it's uber cool ^^ I can still wear it without some backing, I'll just be careful not to wiggle it too much xD
