Happy Monday,
It's Mel from Mellywood's Mansion here today and I'm sharing a quick easy and very cute Valentine gift.
I have to admit I'm not huge on Valentines Day and don't usually do much, but my daughter has just started the new school year and she is feeling a little nervous about new classes, teachers and friends, so I thought I would make her something to cheer her up a bit.
Supplies:
- Flattened Bottle caps - (buy or make your own)
- Epoxy Dots
- Bottle cap images I bought these ones here
- Paper
- Jump rings
- Clasp
- Double sided tape
- 1 inch punch
1. Attach the clasp to two bottle caps using the jump rings, then add the caps to fit wrist, for Elizabeth who is a tall 10 year old, I used 6.
It's that easy, and since I had a few more images I added a pendant and a key ring to her little gift.
Playing with bottle caps is so much fun and you can make them to fit anyone. Personally I wouldn't give them to anyone younger than four, in case of choking but I guess it depends on the child.
Thanks for reading
Mel xo

DeleteWhat's the best way to flatten bottle caps?
ReplyDeleteHi, I have a big shot die cutter which I use now, but prior to that, I put them between two solid pieces of wood and hit them with a hammer. Great fun and it gets all the frustrations out ;)
