I think I just found a new cheap craft to make... Anyone else do this? I used to make bracelets and belts, this one is new to me

i've seen full shirt mail made out of those, and my ex used to make belts and stuff out of them. definitely could make some crazy stuff out of it!
 
Full shirt? Wow, way to do it better. Did it hold up well? Tabs are a surprisingly versatile/useful little things, I'd bet I could make a bag or purse out of em too...
 
Yeah, when I see those I don't really think about pasta. You could definitely make some purses or something, a cage for a pet rock or frog.. depending on how strong it is you could take the strainer idea and make a huge one, then throw it in a river and try to catch some fish.....
 
a friend of mines girlfriend has a bunch of those on her jacket instead of studs. it looks pretty rad
 
i miss the large steel reserve pop tabs. i used to be able to bend one in half and press into the back of a bottle cap. originally i wanted to make my hoodie have pop bottle cap platingg. i was/am no where near enough of a lush to drink that much be
er. ^.^ so i ended up with a dozen or so bottle caps afixed to my hoodie pocket. gosh that method works so well that i went through 3 hoodies and there still holding strong.

sorry about off topic but it was too temptimg... :p
