Punch holes in them and make them into a beaded door curtain?

| One of my aunts used to make the neatest hot pads out of them. The kind you just set hot dishes on at the table. She covered each bottle cap ( the metal ones ) with a yo-yo & hand stitched them together in what ever shape she wanted. Some were round,square, a star or whatever . They were so neat & pretty. Make sure the bottom is covered or it would scratch a table. |

Hi, funny you should ask because I got an email with ideas today for this. You use a hammer to flatten the cap, glue in their picture, and then glue a pin to the back to make a brooch. Another idea from the same website was to make tamborines. The website is www.familyfun.com; the link to the brooches is: http://familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts/season/feature/famf117gift/famf117gift7.html The site is somehow affiliated with Disney, and has some great family ideas, crafts, cooking and more. Good luck with all of your bottle caps! Peggy Peggy
So little time, sew much to do........... |
