One day, my family and I went to my uncle's house. When we were leaving, my mom and I saw a bracelet that my cousin was wearing. It was cool and beautiful. What made it so interesting is it was made out of the soda can pull tabs.

When my family got home, my mom started making the same kind of bracelet my cousin was wearing. It was so easy to make, yet I like it because I think it is so unique. It is pull tabs with an elastic piece (like an elastic hair band).

When I put it on, I felt so happy to have my own pop-cap bracelet. Everyone in my class and in other classes would say, "Where did you get that? I want one! Did your mom make that? Tell her to make one for me!" When I gave one to a different cousin, that's what all her friends said. I love my bracelet.
