Soda Pop Top Ribbon Bracelets

Two of the “Soda Pop Top Ribbon Bracelets” we made!

The girls have been collecting Soda Pop Tops from my husbands aluminum soda pop cans for the last few months.  The other day we got all the soda pop tops out and made a bunch of cool bracelets.  It was a lot of fun!  We came up with some neat bracelets that we made out of the recycled soda pop tops!

These are super simple to make even for the kids to do themselves.  There are so many variations you can make with these bracelets.  Attached are pictures of four different types of bracelets we made that day.  The kids also made decorative belts for themselves and a matching belt for their baby doll out of the recycled soda pop tops too!

You can use any ribbon you want!  For this simple Soda Pop Top Ribbon Bracelet we choose white with red hearts.  This would be a great Valentine’s Day goody your kids can make to share with their friends at school.

The bracelets were adjustable – wrap it around your wrist and weave the leftover strand of ribbon into the next one or two soda pop tops to lock it in place.  It was very easy to take it on or off.  With the ribbons we used the bracelet stayed on really well, we didn’t have any problems with them slipping off.  If you have a thinner more flexible ribbon you can tie the two ends together in the back instead of weaving it through the pop tops.

Here’s another example of the Soda Pop Top Ribbon Bracelet with the simple weave as well,but with gold ribbon.  The gold color really popped out against the silver pop tops!

 This one was fun too!  We used the same ribbon, but on this one we overlapped the pop tops and only weaved the bottom row which gave this bracelet a more 3D look which was super cute!

This Soda Pop Top Ribbon Bracelet turned out really well.  We weaved the ribbon through a double layer of  overlapping pop tops.   The bracelet was thicker, but still comfortable and fun to wear.
