Actually when you don't know what makes them they're very cool. I like the belts & purses

[RachelG]

Actually, that's kind of neat. (But no, you won't see me sporting any of it!)

[klouised]

You would think that there would be some rough edges on the tops where they came off the can. You wouldn't want to stand out in the sun for very long. That could get pretty hot. I wonder if you got if you got all shook up in an outfit like that if you would explode. haha. I think that it's pretty neat, but it's not my style. I can see where that would get a lot of attention, though.

Well, I can see that there would be a market for those garments, so I wish them well in selling them.

 

I just wonder how they get so many of the pop tops when they seem to be able to supply all sizes and have to have items made up ready for sale.

[RachelG]

Somebody must be drinking a lot of soda?

[faithpa76]

Hmm, not my style - I would think it would be scratchy and uncomfortable. It is definitely interesting and unique though!

[crochetfun]

In the name of recycling....

 

Anyhow, they explain the whole process, it involves cleaning the tabs, getting rid of any sharp edges etc. Sounds like a lot of work.

 

It's definitely very creative. Makes me think of a whole lot of other tiny things that could be used similarly. Beads, plastic or metal rings come to mind.

it looks a little like chain mail! A warrior princess look for sure. Go Zena

I'm not sure I'd wear the clothes, but the belts and purses are downright cute as can be!

It says in there somewhere that the homeless collect the cans and then they buy the tops from them, then clean and tend to any rough edges before they are used in the clothing. There are some interesting items there.

Id a worn it 30 years ago. I like it. I would bead it rather than tab it. Nice big beads like a necklace.

[aliciasjoy]

The coin purses are cute! I also liked the hat on the baby. I bet it's more flexible than one would think, like chain maille.

[mimicat]

Its good to know of these unique crocheted items using inexpensive materials and a lot of imagination. Their creative talent is amazing!

[HappyknitandcrochetFreak]

Absolutely different, but I especially liked the hat , that also could be a bowl:clap

[crochetqueen]

How interesting really, thanks for posting the link. I get a kick out of seeing how others use crochet. They are really creative and I would of never thought of that. I remember the curtains made out of those (yes I am old)

[Pyogazel]

I love the belt too, and the basket is a great idea !

Sure the bustier and skirt are a little bit Xena-style, But I definitely would wear those, maybe at a party...

Thank you for the link!

exactly m y first thought.. and very cool of course ..

 

I dont drink soda.. so this will not be something I will be trying .. but its definatley interesting !!

[crochetchronicles]

I love seeing creative projects like these!

[AidanM]

Eco-friendly SCA members would probalby get a kick out of stuff like that.

[Deb]

Unique.. to be sure! I'd like to get to know the male model... just to hear what he thinks about them...

[SurendraSkye]

I made a bracelet like that, I saw on craftster...My son wears it to school. I was just a shoelace and can tabs. They face back and forth so no sharp edges touched you. He loves it, and so does his friends.

I couldn't pull it off. But I think they are cute.

[TepperWear]

It blows my mind how creative some people are. I think it's incredibly clever and quite a conversation piece.

[PDC]

This website is something so different. I might just have to get a purse from this website. Who would have ever thought to use can popper tops for crochet. Talented, just true talent.
