How to make bottle cap embellishments.



Bonjour! Today I'm sharing how to make bottle cap embellishments! :)

Feel free to post any questions in the comments section OR if you are on Facebook, post them on Do more with less's Facebook Page [I just started this page and would love some support! Come "like" my blog!]


Step 1: Cut around the circumference of a twist-and-turn bottlecap to create "petals".

Step 2: Apply adhesive to bottle cap and glue baker's twine around the bottle cap. Add wrinkle ribbon around the outer circumference.

Thank you

Step 3: Add embellishment to your card.

Supplies: Kraft cardstock, Pink Cat Studio digital image, stickles, wrinkle ribbon, SRM sticker, Gauche Alchemy embellishments, bottle cap, baker's twine.



Step 1: Cut scrap paper to fit bottle cap. Arrange the embellishments in the bottle cap and adhere with glossy accents.


Step 2 : Add stickers and adhere to layout.

The start of the wonder years
And that's how you make fun bottle cap embellishments! :)

Supplies: Patterned paper - Dream Street Papers, SRM, Cosmo Cricket and E.A.D designs stickers, Gauche Alchemy embellishments, ribbon, buttons and American Crafts thickers.

Phew! I survived one week of upcycled projects..yay me! :) Did you enjoy the projects?

In case you missed any of my week-long upcycled projects...here are the links to them..
1. How to make your own tiered stand.
2. How to make your own cardboard album.
3. How to make a mini album using packaging materials. 
4. How to use up your paper strips.

I'm planning some fun activities next on the Do more with less Facebook Page...just as soon as I learn how to navigate...*LOL*

P/s: Don't forget about my guest Elizaveta's vintage-inspired challenge! And have the most amazing weekend friends! :)

    This is a very creative way of reusing caps, and it would look pretty well along with my other cap collections. Now that's a low-cost way of doing art, and it sure looks fun! Thanks for the creative idea! Keep 'em flowing!
