Easy Bottle Cap Necklace Tutorial

It is pretty easy and simple to make bottle cap necklaces  and even kids can do it too with parent's supervision. 


Materials need:

Bottle cap necklace
epoxy drop

Bottle cap Image of choice

1 inch circle punch

Glossy Accents

(brought all my supplies on Etsy)

I printed my image on photo paper and use my 1 inch punch to cut my image, after that I add the 

epoxy drop to the image to give it the laminated glassier look.


 Last, you add the image to your bottle cap and I use the glossy accents on the corner because I don't like to see the paper when you look close and it gives it a nice finishing touch... After, it is all dry, I use nail polish remover to clean it up.

 And VOILA , here is you necklace ( a 5 min project)... Perfect craft for kids to do in the summer and really fun to put together :)

I also do the same thing for my bottle caps bows and you can also put magnet on the back for decorations.


I am really suck at giving direction, so if you don't understand all that rambling, feel free to email me questions or just leave a comment :)

Happy Crafting Everyone

Wordless Wednesday



Two because you don't get to see a lot of my Stud-muffin :) 

So Tired

Picture found somewhere using google
I was going to make a few things with some tutorials but I am too tired and brain dead to put it together. I have two very long days...My wonderful son painted his room with poop on Sunday and our whole house smell real bad for two days, they had to sleep with me in the living room since their room smells. Let just say, after spending 48 straight hours with little sleep and no naps, I had two grumpy and tired toddlers and a VERY TIRED MAMA WHO NEEDED A TIME-OUT. All is good now, their room is smell free ( got the carpet clean) and they both went to bed at 6:46 and tomorrow, we can have a great day and I can work on those tutorials and post them.

Hope you guys had a great day or at least better than mine!
