day 141. Set of 4 crochet pop tab coasters

Finished the coaster set today. Photographed and listed it. I had a reasonably productive day today

day 111. Photo chosen for my new cash card

Not that I am earning a lot of money, but I decided to get a second bank account. The second bank account will only be used for my craft expences and income. That way I can keep it seperate of my normal day to day life expences. Just a little step a long the way to get to my dream of owning a online shop that sell eco-friendly bags, jewelry and house wares

When I filled in the form I was asked if I would like to design my own cash card.  Yes, I would like that !!. I chose this picture to use for it.

I sold this item today. I have to get some zip ties to remake this one. I probably will do that thursday. After that day this one will come along in a 2 part project (takes a minimum of 2 days to make), because I want to remake it :).  This already sold a few times in my shop and people are really happy with it.

day 57. Pop tab chainmaille bracelet european 4-in-1

My chainmaille skills came in very handy today. I used a chainmaille technique called european 4-in-1 to attach the pop tabs to each other. This was the result.

Also listed  2 of my former creations for this project in my shop

This one has been sold to one of my faithfull followers of this blog. Hope you will like it as much in person as in the picture :)

Also listed this bracelet in the 7 1/4 inch (18cm) and 8 1/4 inch (21 cm) version. You probably can see them in my etsy mini on the right side of my blog :)

How do you people like the tree bark I am using in the picture? I like the result myself.

day 39 pop tab belt black

I have not done this one for the 365 project yet. But have done this in the past. He was sold a few weeks back. But he is ready and up in my shop again.

blue and white pop tab belt

The black pop tab belt from the last post sold in a few days after it was listed. I remade this pop tab belt and  made i blue and white version. I like making these belts. Here they are:

black crochet pop tab belt and pop tab bracelet

Made some new additions to my shop. I redone the my pop tab belt. This time i made it with nylon thread. Much stronger and durable then the cotton yarn i was using the first time. Also i changed the buckle to a two tongue buckle, because it works better with the belt holes. I am also in the process of making a blue an white version of this belt.

Also made a simple pop tab bracelet in 2 sizes 8 1/4 inches and 7 1/4 inches

pop tab baskets

I have been busy making more baskets and rephotographing them so they look more attractive. I have glad i took the time to do that. I like the photographs of them much more. I used cloth flower petals as props. The green one is going to be my xmas version, just because it is green ;)

I have so many ideas on what i want to make with pop tabs lately, that i started a idea journal. I basically have written done what it is, how it looks and what i a am going to need to make it. I can use it later on to work the ideas out.

pull tab belt

Finally finished the pull tab belt today. It is crocheted from 208 pull tabs. I used dark blue cotton yarn. It is 39 inches long and 1.7 inches width. I also am planning to make a "large" version of this on, that will be 43 inches. I shot some pictures of it and listed it on etsy.

My next project is a crocheted pull tab bracelet. I already made some test bracelets but did not like the outcome of them.

14-7-2011 pull tab and black tye wraps basket
