How-To Make a Pop Tab Bracelet

By Rain Blanken, About.com Guide

First off, you can add a bit of clear tape to the ends of your ribbon. This will keep them from unraveling, and will make them much easier to thread through the holes in the tabs. I've taped them flat for my project, but you can make them into a tube like the end of a shoelace.

One of the ribbons will always be in the top hole, the other in the bottom. Thread your first tab through the back of the tab. Thread the second tab through the face, as shown. Now, slide both tabs to the middle of the ribbon.

Now I'll show you a trick for starting up your tab bracelet that will make threading easier and put less wear and tear on the ribbon. Let's add the third tab.
