Preparing Soda Can Tabs for Crafts

I wanted to make a soda can tab belt. But then I was thinking, what should I put on them so they won't rust?

Thanks!

I have a TON of pull tabs from soda cans. A nearby store had a drive for every tab I gave, someone would get one minute on a kidney dialasis machne. I donated almost a thousand once (took months of Dr Pepper and Dr Thunder cans, plus friends and family helped). Well, I have my second 32 oz cup nearly full of tabs, and now that campaign of kidney machine time is no longer. If anyone knows were anohter campaign like that is and where I can send the tabs, or if anyone wants the tabs for crafts, Email me at KLS8800 at aol dot com. and put 'tabs' in the subject line so I don't delete your E-mail.

Aluminum doesn't rust. Just use the ones from aluminum cans. My daughter made one--really cute!
