New Project

So last night I sorted all of my colored pop tabs that I got from Jordan Hamm. I placed them in their own piles then counted them out into piles of 100 and placed them on strings to separate them out.

 

I then made my  own pattern with some slight changes in Excel. 

And then started on my own laptop bag made from pop tabs. 

I was going to do all the yarn in black but then decided last minute to do a grey-blue color.

So first tie the yarn to the first two tabs.

Fold them together so they are lying on top of each other.

Pull the yarn through and do a single crochet (sc) twice into the same hole. 

Pull them apart and lay the next ones on top or underneath depending on what type of look you want. I like it this way better because the bottom has more metal to show. 

Fold pack together with the two new tabs in the inside and continue until your row has become the height you would like your purse to be. (In between tabs you will need to chain 1 if you are using yarn. If you use nylon you won't need to do this.

This is how it will looked when it's opened again. When you turn to start the next row chain 2 and place just one tab at a time.
