Tips for Crocheting a Pop Tab Flower Purse

• Use Strong Yarn: Make sure to use a strong, durable yarn like cotton or acrylic, as this project requires the purse to hold its shape and support the pop tabs.
• Check Your Pop Tabs: Ensure all pop tabs are smooth and safe to work with. Sharp edges should be flattened or removed to avoid injury.
• Evenly Space the Flowers: Take your time when attaching the pop tab flowers to ensure they’re evenly spaced and aligned, creating a balanced design.
• Test the Purse’s Strength: Before using your purse, test the strength of the handle and closures to ensure they are securely attached and can support the weight of the items you plan to carry.
