DIY Tutorial - Monster Tabs Bracelet

A lot of people like collecting the cool tabs from cans but end up not knowing what to do with them, i like to do these

Supplies:

- Can tabs, this tutorial is meant for the kind that has one hole like a Monster tab does but you could potentially do it with other kinds. Also make sure theyre not sharp, sometimes when popping them off cans you might get a sharp edge so keep that in mind when making this.

- String/elastic, it doesnt have to be stretchy but it can be easier to wear if it is, i use stretchy string.

- Clip, i use this to keep my place as i make it but its not exactly required, itd be harder without a clip but you dont need it.

- Super glue, i use this to secure the knot at the end when closing it off but you dont have to, i just do it for extra stability.

How to make it

1. Aquire the string or elastic in the length you need, add a few inches/centimeters and clip it (or knot it). You can measure the wrist of the individual who plans to wear it or if you wanna do it how i do, eyeball it. You dont have to do this but if you want it to be more sturdy, double and fold your material in half. I personally give myself a loooot of slack because it works for me but you can probably manage without as much as i use.

2. This parts a bit hard to explain but this is the part where the tabs start to go onto the string. I’ll explain it as best as i can but essentially you have a top layer and a bottom layer. My top layer is the red and the bottom layer is the black.

To start it off, youll feed your material through the two tabs on the left as shown. The string goes downward through the top and bottom tabs with the tail coming out underneath the bottom layer tab.

3. Bring another bottom layer tab, feed your string upward through it and your top layer tab.

4. Add another top layer tab, feed the tail of your material downward through it and the bottom layer tab below it

5. Continue the steps above until its long enough to wrap around the wrist of the person its for. Youll likely need between 20-30 tabs total.

6. Now its time to end it. Feed your tail end up through the bottom layer tab at the very beginning.

8. Now youll feed your tail end up through the top layer tab you just added. Now you have two ends next to each other. You can tie these together but i highly recommend supergluing the knot just for security, especially if youre using the same material i am.

And now you are done !

Ps, if you make one i wanna see photos !!!

The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.

Did you know, that like snakes and lizards, most sharks are ectothermic? This means that, normally, they’re not capable of regulating their own body temperature. However, sharks that live in frigid Arctic waters have adapted an ability called counter-current heat exchange. This method of keeping warm, allows these sharks to survive in even the coldest of the world’s oceans.
