You’ll need your crochet hook, and a soda can tab to get started. First, create a slip knot on the tab by wrapping your yarn around it and pulling it through. This creates a loop around the tab and secures it to your hook.
Next, you’ll work on creating a single crochet around the tab. Insert your hook under the yarn, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through two loops. Continue working your single crochets around the tab until you’ve covered both sections. Keep going until you’ve encircled the entire tab with single crochets.
At this point, you’ll want to slip stitch to secure the crochet. To create an edging, chain three (1, 2, 3), then slip stitch in the next stitch. Repeat this process, chaining three and slip stitching in the next stitch until you’ve completed the edging for one side. Work until you’re halfway around the other side, then slip stitch to finish.

To complete your work, fasten off by pulling the yarn through, then use a needle to weave in the loose ends.
Now, it’s time to attach the earring post. Thread your needle through the post and secure it by pulling your yarn through. If you wish to add jewelry or embellishments, you can use a hot glue gun to attach them for a polished, finished look.
*This is where the magic happens. Learn to crochet around the soda tabs, creating intricate patterns and designs with your chosen crochet thread. Combining crochet and soda tabs adds a unique and rustic charm to your jewelry.
