Upcycle to Make a Ring
Zakka Life Crafts has very simple project instructions for upcycling the plastic tab from a milk or juice container into a ring. The project is so simple even a young child can easily do this.

I like this! I'd make one for myself if I could... Too bad the containers in my country don't have that inside capping! They use a different design here.
Crocheters also use the rings to crochet around and make tiny wreaths as tree ornaments. But they also use larger rings from plastic (milk) bottles for that. Here's an example of my own: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27433928
What puzzles me though is whatever happened to the old fashioned containers that you had to cut or tear open at the corner. I think it's just another sales trick that adds nothing really useful to the product. Just more waste and waste of resources. As if the cartons themselves aren't waste enough! You can't even throw them in the paper recycling bins because of the plastic coating.
You've been awarded with Honest Scrap Award . I like your versatality and creative mind on your recycled project.
Check out 'Mixed Media Leap of Faith' for the award!
