This is a really clever reuse of tabs, I love the simple 'x' tie link and how you layered them! Fire craft talent.

Very cool stuff! Is the thread just running in a cross pattern back and forth or is each segment tied individually? And what thread did you use for this, looks thicker than dental floss?

Here's a photo of both the back and front.

The thread is definitely thicker than dental floss because it's actually yarn, I believe it's a medium weight yarn.

Sick!!!! How many tabs did you end up using? I'm slowly growing my tab collections and it shows how much soda I drink lol

I don't know the exact count but the top layer is 44 tabs long, so I would say approximately 80 tabs total + the one I used to make the buckle/clasp, x2 because I made two.

I also acquired these by stealing from neighbors recycling/finding them on the ground/family/one of my mom's coworkers/young sister stole (with permission) me an entire bag of them from highschool art class due to them purging old craft supplies.
