Crochet a Flower With Pull Tabs
Want to learn how to crochet with pull tabs? Here are step-by-step instructions with photos. Use the crochet flower as a tabletop coaster, a Christmas ornament, or as part of a bigger project.
If you want to buy an already made pop-top purse you can shop all of our our purses, and clutch bags on our online store.
Step 1: Materials & Tools
Step 2: Prepare Your Pull Tabs
Choose tabs that are in good condition. Wash them until they are clean and shiny. Use the wire cutters to remove any sharp edges from the pull tab.
Step 3: Start Crocheting
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. (bottom figure).
Step 4: Connect the Circle
Pull the line of tabs into a circle and crochet them together (top figure). Fill in the middle space with single stitches until it forms the center of the flower (bottom figure). Cut the thread leaving a small tail. Burn the thread's end with the lighter to prevent the thread from fraying.
Step 5: Add Color to the 'Petals'
Cover the outer ring of the pull-tab using a double stitch with different colored thread. There are 22 double stitches per tab.
Step 6: Cover and Connect
Cover all tabs in this same manner, connecting each of the petals together.
Step 7: Finish the Flower
When the last pull tab is covered, join it to the first one with a single stitch. Finish it off by burning the end of the thread to prevent fraying. You're done!
Sew or hot glue a pin on the back to create a brooch
