Click any of the items to purchase at BottleCapCo.com

STEP 1:

Gather your supplies

STEP 2:

Choose the perfect design and punch it with your 1/2 inch hole punch.

STEP 3:

Glue the design into your mini bottle caps.

STEP 4:

Peel off the epoxy dot from the vellum paper,
trying to carefully keep your finger tips to the
edges of the dot (if you touch the underside,
sticky part of the dot, it will show your fingerprints!
Just a little FYI!) Then place the dot on top of the image.

STEP 5:

Attach your bottle cap pendant to the fish hook
earring wires. This can be done fairly easily
without tools.

You're done! Enjoy these super cute earrings!
Kids will love to have a pair to match each
outfit. My 7 year old daughter created her own
pair while I was making these and we had a blast! I
only needed to help her attach the bottle cap pendant to
the earring. I highly recommend this craft as a
creative project without frustration and one that
will get lots of use instead of thrown in the garbage
after a few days like so many of the crafts that are fun
to do with kids.

epoxy dot stay more secure as you will see in

the next step.

Peel off the epoxy dot from the vellum paper, and

trying to carefully keep your finger tips to the edges

Place a small dab of glue on the back of the

bottle cap and take one of your magnets and

place over the glue. Allow 8-12 hours to cure.

DIY Scrabble Tile Necklace

We are going to show you how to make your very own scrabble tile necklace. These are very funky and fun! They have so many possibilities too! But for today, we'll be sticking with showing you how to make the basic scrabble tile necklace.

Here are the supplies that you will need:

-necklace chain

*All of these supplies can be purchased at Bottlecapco.com! Just click HERE

STEP 1:

Gather your supplies:

STEP 2:

Glue on your images with the e-6000 glue.

A small layer of glue should do the trick.

You don't want glue oozing off of your tile,

so just put on enough to secure the image.

STEP 3:

Glue on your bails with the e-6000 glue.

Place a small layer of glue on the back

side of the bail.

STEP 4:

Peel off the square epoxy to place over your

scrabble tile image. Make sure to firmly

apply pressure over all area of the epoxy

to make sure it is secured completely.

Once the glue has had a good chance to dry, you

can go ahead and string your favorite necklace

chain through the bail, and... Walla! You have

your very own, funky & fun scrabble tile necklace!

***Even though the epoxy adds a layer of

protection for your image - make sure that

you know that these are NOT waterproof.

Make sure to let the wearer of the necklace

know that as well!
