... Read moreCreating chain mail armor suits from soda tabs is a creative and eco-friendly upcycling project that transforms everyday waste into wearable art. The process involves connecting thousands of metal tabs, often recovered from soda cans, to replicate traditional chain mail—a form of armor consisting of small metal rings linked together. This ongoing project, now on day 41, highlights the patience and dedication required to amass sufficient tabs and assemble them into a functional armor suit. The repetitive linking of tabs creates a satisfying, almost meditative experience, which resonates well with audiences appreciating ASMR and crafting content. Using soda tabs not only promotes recycling and sustainability but also allows artisans to experiment with lightweight, flexible armor designs that can be worn for cosplay, art shows, or as a statement piece. Materials like aluminum pop tabs are particularly suitable due to their malleability and shiny finish. Projects like these often involve community engagement, with supporters and followers offering encouragement and suggestions—for instance, including thematic elements like collaborating with Spider-Man motifs or creating custom designs such as Mountain Dew-themed tabs. This chain mail armor suit project also reflects a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern creativity, demonstrating how discarded materials can be repurposed effectively. For anyone interested in DIY, metalworking, or sustainable fashion, building armor from soda tabs is an inspiring example of resourcefulness and artistic expression.

3 DAY YARD RENO ⛲️
Over the span of three days we were able to finish phase 1 of our yard renovation! It took three of us but besides some heavy lifting and humid weather it was pretty straight forward.. and the end result is 100% worth it!!! . #yardtransformation #yardmakeover #yard #summer #backyard

Full day of eating! In a calorie deficit
For the past year, I’ve had a terrible relationship with food. When I’m sad, I eat. Mad? I eat. Just got paid? I eat! Lol It’s terrible. I’ve gained over 30lbs and I am so disappointed in myself but I am going to get it together! I think if I journal my food and share it, it will keep me motivated.
