Yes, these are made of recycled drink can tabs. The tabs are cleaned well before I crochet them together with cotton crochet thread. I then sew in a liner. I made each one custom, so you can choose whatever colour shell you'd like and what colour liner as well.

It usually takes a couple weeks to create each one, as they take about 400 tabs each. As well you can choose the approximate size you'd like, the ones shown are about 10 inches wide and 8 tall (with an 8 inch long flap that is left unlined so you can use the mesh to button the flap down. For the "button" I crochet around another tab.) The strap is 20 inch long and 1.5 inch wide, and is also lined. The price listed is for this approximate size. A different size will have a different cost and can be discussed when ordering.

With each purse I sell about $10 goes to the Canadian Diabetes Association to support my daughter who suffers from diabetes.

A very cool recycling project if I do say so myself!

The tabs are smooth side out so it is not scratchy on your arm plus they are lined. And being crocheted together the bags and wallets are very pliable.
