Soda Can Tab Earrings

If you drink soda from a can, DON'T throw the tabs away!!  They can be turned into darling earrings like these...

and these...

And these!

My husband brought home a HUGE garbage bag full of empty cans from his work site (yes...he totally supports me in my craziness craftiness!).  I've got all of the tabs taken off of them, and have 1/3 of them cut and cleaned.  I can't wait to experiment some more and see what other earrings I can make out of others' trash!!

Oh, if you end up making some soda can/tab earrings, I'd LOVE to see them!  Email me pictures or links to your blogs!

One last thing.  A few of you mentioned you'd like to see a tutorial for the flower earrings I posted last week.  I'll get working on one and will try to have it posted soon!

Cute! My teenage daughter collects tabs and has put some on a necklace. She wanted to know how you get the tabs off intact. Without pulling the center piece off. She wants to make earrings now. Thanks!
