How to Crochet with Pop-Tops
Over the past few years we have received numerous emails from crafters who want to know how to crochet with pull-tabs. This DIY Tutorial will teach you how to make a pull-tab flower. The flower can be made into a Christmas tree ornament, a brooch or incorporated into a bigger project. Begin crocheting the center of the flower using a single stitch to cover the 'thin side' of the tab (top figure) (the side that's pulled when a can is opened). Repeat this step, joining all 6 pull-tabs in a line.
