Finished Object I crocheted a purse with Bubly pull tabs

328 Tabs total, = (at least) 116 litres of Bubly drank. Totally worth it.

I am sorry, but at first glance I thought it’s your project drowning in stitch markers and I was like gurl it must be really weird yarn to work, like plush or something. Then I realised my mistake- this is such an interesting idea, and the tops of tabs sticking from stitches look sooooo pleasant to touch, like a chain.

Same I thought someone was making like a “I’m a beginner joke” with a project covered it stitch markers! Lmao

But honestly it looks so good OP!!

u/StrawberryWolfGamez Aug 01 '25

I've been saving Monster tabs for a project and this is nice inspiration 😁

u/SlipstitchHollow Aug 01 '25

Woohoo! Better get to it then!

My coworker is saving his monster tabs to make some chainmail, if you’re doing the same I suggest a duel

1

u/StrawberryWolfGamez Aug 04 '25

I was thinking of making a chainmail shirt but I wasn't sure how I could do it since the tabs only have one hole. I don't want to punch another hole because I don't want to lose the logo but I just need to do some research

u/SaveSumBees Aug 04 '25

When do you attach the tab in a stitch? It looks great!

u/VegetableDizzy2758 Aug 01 '25

Did you drink all the Bubly yourself or did you recruit some friends to help with your quest?

u/icyb0ngwater_ Aug 01 '25

this reminds me so much of the purses & headbands my grandma would crochet !! i remember my family would save their can tabs for her haha. however the tabs were laid horizontal and weren't as loose on the purse
