Yesterday I shared my Escama Studio crochet pop top bag. Today I wanted to let you know that Escama Studio has a new video tutorial available that shows you how to crochet a pop tab Christmas ornament.
About Escama Studio
Escama Studio is a San Francisco based organization that does Fair Trade Crochet work with artisans in Brazil who use crochet to upcycle aluminum pop tabs into beautiful bags.
How to Crochet a Pop Top Christmas Ornament
If you are interested in learning pop tab crochet yourself then you might want to check out the new crochet video (below) from Escama Studio, which shows how to crochet an ornament.
The Crochet Designer
The video was filmed by designer Francisca Ribiero de Souza in Brazil. Her “who made this” profile on the site shares from the designer:
“My name is Francisca Ribeiro de Souza. I am 41 years old and have 6 children. I have been at the association for 5 χρόνια. I work making bags, accessories and home furnishings with recycled can tabs. I love my job. I am the president of the group. I am really happy for being able to help other mothers, who otherwise couldn’t get a job. Because of my age, I am really thankful to God that I can work.”
Get the Ornament free with Purchase
Pop tab crochet is cool but it’s not for everyone. People who want the ornament but don’t want to make it may be interested to know that right now Escama Studio is giving away one of these ornaments with each online purchase. This offer is good until midnight on Christmas Day 2012.
