Something fun for you!

Check out this amazing bag from www.ecoist.com, $84.00 and made of (listen up) recycled soda can tabs!

Brought to you by Escama, these sharp-looking handbags are made by overlapping and weaving together recycled soda can tabs. Yup, 100 % post-consumer recycled aluminum tabs, the ones you pull to open a can of soda. Each bag has a zipper closure, hand crocheted padding, and a zippered pouch inside for extra convenience. These handbags are made in Brazil by the women of the Cia do Lacre and 100 Dimensao Cooperatives. Inside of each bag is a card with the name of the artist who crocheted the piece.

They make them from candy wrappers too - like this one for for $48!
