I am not a crafty person. My artsy projects usually just get paint everywhere or start vinyl fires. Don't ask... So when the urge to make something hit me today I had every right to be worried. But I think that I did a good job in finding a project that wouldn't potentially burn down my house. Pop-top bracelet!
It stared by pulling the pop-tops off of my Dad's Pepsi can collection.
I dug through my scrap box and found some ribbon that I thought would be suitable. The black piece was really easy to work with but a word of advice if anyone undertakes the challenge -do not use wired ribbon!! The green wired ribbon kept snagging and the wire started poking and well, guess who has a few new scars tonight?
I then began the threading process. Yes, it is as hard as it looks. If it doesn't look hard you must be an alien. There is no other explanation. It took me 45 min. to figure out how to get 4 tabs on the stupid ribbon. Here it is about half way done.
But after about two hours, several bloody fingers, and not a few curses I had a finished product! I cut the extra ribbon and sealed it with some clear nail polish so it wouldn't fray.
I have got to say I am pretty proud of myself! What do you guys think?
