Dolly? bottle cap question.

[Cruzmom]

I have seen some horribly cute girls bows with a characture bottle caps in the middle. And just went through your album and found a few I would love to use.

My question is what is the best bet to get the disigns on the bottle caps? And where do you find plain bottle caps? I know I had bought some red ones for a scrap book page 5 years ago but haven't seen them recently.

Thank you so much,
Sarah

I actually don't make them. I just made the images about a year ago for someone that requested them. I believe you can buy bottlecaps on ebay.

I'm 95% certain that bottlecap images are 1 inch circles. You can hand cut the image, or if you want the perfect circle you can purchase a 1 inch circle punch at Michaels or a similar store. First you will want to "mod podge" the image to seal it. Then resin is used to seal the image inside of the bottlecap. A good product is EasyCast.There are lots of youtube videos that you can watch to find out how to make them.

Here is one video...he makes pendants and rings but it is the same way you make bottlecaps:
