Soda Pop Tab Embossing

 embossed pop tabUsing soda pop tabs for crafting is fun & easy.

Supplies:

  • clear embossing ink
  • soda pop tabs
  • colored embossing powder
  • heat embossing tool
  • pair of tweezers

Directions:

  1. You will first coat the soda tab with the embossing ink (I do the fronts only.)

  2. Using the tweezers, dip the soda tab into the embossing color of choice.

  3. Hold the soda tab with tweezers and heat the tab with the heating embossing tool until powder is melted. Be VERY CAREFUL, it will be HOT! You will need to repeat these steps 2 or 3 times for a good coating.

These can be used as "buckles" for any craft project. Have Fun!

I have used them in cardmaking, but never thought of embossing them. Thanks for a great idea.

How clever! Those would be great for scrapbook pages or homemade greeting cards.
