Crochet flowers using can tabs

Following on from our recent post about crochet stitch library MyPicot, we've got another fun project for you – and this one's recycling.

The DIY tutorial from Escama Studio shows you how to turn those little tabs from the top of drinks cans into a cute crochet flower – fast and easy, they're a great embellisment for a bag or a quick keychain fob.

Escama Studio design and sell gorgeous bags hand-crocheted in Brazil using – yes, you guessed it – tabs. The innovative styles are unusual and lovely; we highly recommend looking round their gallery!
