How to Reuse Can Tabs to Save and Organize Your Household

Collect clean can tabs by removing them carefully from your cans.

Inspect the tabs to ensure they are intact and not bent out of shape.

Use the tabs as small hooks or connectors:

Thread them onto key rings to create custom keychains.

Use them to hang lightweight items by slipping the tab over nails or hooks.

Link multiple tabs together to form chains for decorative or practical purposes.

For clothing organization, slide tabs onto hangers to double your closet space by hanging one hanger from another.

You can also use tabs as zipper pulls or to repair broken zipper handles.
