Simple DIY Pop Tab Projects

We talk about recycling and upcycling all the time and we’re always willing to reuse different kinds of household things in as many different creative ways as we can possibly think of. Sometimes, however, we have so much fun transforming a particular thing into something new and useful that we get a little bit hung up on that one idea for a while and find ourselves wanting to make new things out of that particular new crafting supply over and over again.

Besides being fun to save up and work with, we also just find the aesthetic of things made from pop tabs kind of industrial and awesome looking, so we just keep making them.
