TIP or TECHNIQUE TUESDAY ****BOTTLE CAP****

Hi all,

I have had a few questions in the comments

about the bottle cap embellishment I made for this tag,

So I thought I would talk you through it,

Yes it is a normal bottle cap from beers

that were consumed at my Nephews 21st birthday party,

I was going around collecting them from everyone,

(by the end of the night I had

everyone coming to me, my pockets were stuffed)

Here's just a few to show you.

I have used the same type of cap for this demo as I used for the tag

(just to keep it simple)

It's silver on the outside & gold on the inside,

I used my bug with plates A & C

to do the initial squish,

Run through once,

This is what it comes out like,

(it's OK but not quite neat enough for me yet)

I took my pliers

& gently squeezed the last bits, to even it all out.

here's a different angle,

this is what the underside looks like,

There's a rubbery plastic part, you can leave it in if you wish,

but I wanted the gold to show

so I pulled it off,

the remaining glue, I found came right off

 if you scratched it with your finger nail,

I chose to cut a clock from Tim's lost & found paper stack,

Glue it on with glossy accents,



I pushed a poky tool through the middle

(watch your fingers)

then added a game spinner.

I hope I have explained that clear enough,

& I hope you all find this useful,

next time you have a party save the bottle caps,

there's so many things you can do with them,

& the best part is, there free,

I would love to hear what you think,

& know what you would use them for,

please leave me a comment,

I always look back on posts (about a month or so)

 to see if there are any new comments,

(I hope that doesn't make me come off as being to desperate lol)

I do love to here from you.

well that's it for today,

thanks for stopping by,
