Valentines Bottle Cap Jewellery


 


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. 



 2. Using the double sided tape, stick down the image and place the epoxy dot over the top



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

  7. These are precious! I am a little girl at heart and probably the only 45 year old woman that would wear one. Oh well, age means nothing to me.
    I too must play with these bottle caps and make something.

    1. Hi, 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 ;)
