Here are some of the crochet pull tab bracelets that I made this month using this pattern.
Two days ago I made a video tutorial of the green bracelet (shown in the bottom right hand side of the block of 4 photos). For that tutorial I did a voice over. It just didn't seen like a good enough tutorial to me. So I made another one last night, thus the blue bracelet that you see above. For this video tutorial I used a microphone while I taped myself making the bracelet. I like it much better. It did go from being an 8 minute video to a 14 minute one, but it is worth it. I did get the permission of the pattern's designer to make the video. Below is the video. I hope that you enjoy it. I am also including another soda tab bracelet video that I made this week.
Hi Kristy! I've been wanting to try these, and have been saving my pop tabs, but just didn't know for sure which technique I was going to go with. I saw one that used the fabric of an old t-shirt, and I saw the crochet one.. but I think I'm going to try the one with the ribbons. I have a VERY small wrist, and it won't take many tabs, or ribbon, I'm sure!.. and I like the closure on yours too. I'm pretty sure I have some around! I'll let ya know if I get one successfully done! Thanks in the meantime! ~tina
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I can't wait to see your bracelet. Please send me a link after you make it and post it.
ReplyDeleteWow... You lost me after the second tab.. But I'll keep trying!
ReplyDeleteYou might want to check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J60WhPRHEL4 and this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrQpv6N7O8c of mine. Both of them are about making a soda tab bracelet with ribbon. They might help.
ReplyDeleteO.k. It took me SEVERAL times, not just out of frustration, but also from trying to get the size right!... I finally decided to try the pop-tab bracelet you made a while back, with the VHS tape (not criss-crossed), the one you wore a flower in your hair!... Finally, finally, I finished one, and am very happy with it. Dear Son told me it looked "cool" too! So NOW, of course, I want to make more in different colors.. maybe try a crochet one too! I will post, probably after making a couple more, then I'll let you know! Fun! Fun! Fun! Thanks, Kristy! ~tina
ReplyDeleteThat one is easier to make than the X one. I'm glad that you were able to make one. Let your son know that I know a few boys (including a 17 year old) who like to wear them as well. They usually like them with black or brown ribbon. I'm doing a little happy dance from your post :) I can't wait to see all of the bracelets that you are making! - Kristy
