Trash To Treasure

Bottle Cap Charms

17 years ago

I went ahead and started my charm bracelet. But I couldn't finish because I misplaced the clear spray and the batteries are dead for my drill (LOL!!) Here's what I have so far. I used stickers on crepe paper, and glued them on, and crimped down the edges. I'll drill a hole in the top for a jump ring, or maybe drill a hole on each side and connect them together.

VEry cute! If someone has bottlecaps that aren't pretty, they could be decoupaged on the other side as well. Or the outside could be flat and the inside more dimensional. I'll think I'll start saving them!

Thanks Kathy...I finished it today, here it is with my daughter modeling it. I think I will try decoupage on the other side. These had nice colors like purple and green, and a couple gold. Or maybe spray paint...hmmmmmmm, I have silver!

BJ4L you probably could use plastic but metal would last longer I think. Plastic in heat deteriorates unless under a patio cover or tree or shaded area, some plastics, paint doesn't stick to too well either.I like the rounded edge of the metal caps too! But worth a try since you just toss the bottle caps out anyway. I give 1 gal water bottle caps to a teacher to use when teaching kids to count. They come in several colors & easy for kids to pick up.

Thanks again Mariend. I have learned that if you want to put another msg in a post, you have to rename the "Subject of Posting" line and then it will take. I'm off to check the sites you advised me of. I found some bottle caps at an antique store and wanted to make some Halloween decoration for my Halloween tree (same as an Easter Egg Tree if you know what I'm talking about). Sal
