The last period of great economic difficulty has pushed many families to radically change their habits and behaviors, especially at home. In an attempt to stop receiving ‘crazy bills’, many have started to regulate the temperature of the fridge more carefully, manage cooking in the oven better , unplug the TV at night and much more. However, to save on monthly costs, many families have also thought it a good idea to rely on the noble art of recycling , which also allows for much less impact on the environment.

Never throw away your can pull tabs: you can do something unique with them

Well yes, there are so many objects that we tend to throw in the garbage after using them. Nothing more wrong, since they can easily be recovered and reused to create something nice and useful.Tin Tabs – Imilanesi.Nanopress.it

Just to give an example, the tabs of the cans of drinks that we normally consume – both at home and outside – should never be thrown in the garbage . You can’t even imagine how useful they are for making various types of creations.

All you need is four can tabs and two balls of yarn (choose the colors you like). Of course, you will also need a needle.

What do we need to do? The first step is to cover the tab with one of the chosen threads. With the help of the needle we can easily do this job.

However, in addition to covering the tab with yarn, you also need to insert the beads . You can do this by simply passing the needle through each of the beads and continuing with the knitting, so as to insert them into the creation you are making.

The beads will characterize almost the entire outer edge of the tab: in total you will have to insert twelve . Once this step is completed, you will need to make a hem at the end of the tab, where we will then attach the other creations.

Just as we did with this tab, we will also do with the others, so as to obtain four creations in total . Using needle and thread, we will join them through their respective edges, so as to create a sort of cross.

The creation with the tabs of cans will also be appreciated as a gift

Once this step is completed, we take the thread of the other color and roll it around the central part of the creation we have just made, in such a way as to form the ‘body’ of the butterfly.Ball of wool – Imilanesi.Nanopress.it

All that remains is to insert another bead in the upper part, as you can clearly see in the video, tying it with the thread we used previously.

With the same thread we also create a hook, so that we can use this creation for many purposes . The beautiful butterfly that we managed to create with only four can tabs, two balls of yarn and a needle is perfect as a keychain.

Its appearance is so cute and pleasant that it makes it ideal for a gift to a friend or family member. In this way, it will not be necessary to spend money: with recycling you can make fantastic creations.
