Pull-Tab Craftiness

March 19, 2010 By Jay Brooks

pull-tab
When I was searching yesterday for images to use for my post about pull-tabs, I was surprised by how many websites there are devoted to finding other uses for the little aluminum pull-tabs, both the old-style ones and the more modern one-piece tabs. There are so many of these and they’re so inventive I thought I’d share a few of them. This is just the tip of the iceberg, there’s a whole world of DIY, recycling and craft people who are finding amazing ways to use the discarded pull-tabs. So here we are, from head to toe:

tabs-hat
Here’s a kid’s hat and shirt, and there are lots more at the wonderfully named Art of Tabistry.

tabs-tabshirt
Here’s a woman’s top from Apocalypse Creations Chainmail in Canada, whose website is no longer available.

tabs-vest
And a colorful vest by Tiffany, posted on Craftster.

tabs-dress
How about a dress made entirely of pull-tabs? Here’s one posted at Recyclart.

tabs-shoes
And let’s not forget the shoes, shown at This Next.

tabs-armor
Or if you want to be covered head to knee, here’s an entire suit of pull-tab armor, from Geekologie, but the website, http://www.geekologie.com/2009/12/impressive_kid_makes_beercan_t.php is currently been hacked and is showing as Malware.

tabs-purse
And don’t forget to accessorize with this fetching purse, also from This Next.

tabs-chair
In case you get tired wearing all that heavy metal, here’s a pull tab chair for you to sit down and rest made by Studio G.

I can’t say I’d actually wear any of them, but they impressive nonetheless. Enjoy.
