Pop Tab Bracelet


Most of our friends know that Caleb collects aluminum cans to recycle and then gives the money to our churches mission funds.   With that said we have LOTS of aluminum cans!  Friends, neighbors and even Jon's co-workers bring us bags of cans.  Caleb smashes them and then when we have a dozen trash bags full, we take them to the recycle center. 

Back when he first began recycling cans, Caleb would pull the tab top off of the cans before smashing them.  He saved all the tab tops and used them to make chain armor and everything else boys create with random stuff. 

Recently I came across a tutorial on how to make tab top bracelets and showed it to Abigail.  Since we have an abundance of tabs, we dug out the ribbon and got started crafting. I think when the day was over she had created a dozen or so cute bracelets.  She is planning to take them to church and share with her friends.  Abigail has already decided she wants to make a belt too!

she was always doing good
