One more blast from the past, even though this was a holiday project by swapping out the images you can make this anytime. A really fun kid's craft during the school holidays.

Happy Monday,
It's Mel from Mellywood's Mansion here today and I'm sharing a quick easy and very cute Valentine gift.
I have to admit I'm not huge on Valentines Day and don't usually do much, but my daughter has just started the new school year and she is feeling a little nervous about new classes, teachers and friends, so I thought I would make her something to cheer her up a bit.
Supplies:
- Flattened Bottle caps - (buy or make your own)
- Epoxy Dots
- Bottle cap images I bought these ones here
- Paper
- Jump rings
- Clasp
- Double sided tape
- 1 inch punch
1. Attach the clasp to two bottle caps using the jump rings, then add the caps to fit wrist, for Elizabeth who is a tall 10 year old, I used 6.
It's that easy, and since I had a few more images I added a pendant and a key ring to her little gift.
Playing with bottle caps is so much fun and you can make them to fit anyone. Personally I wouldn't give them to anyone younger than four, in case of choking but I guess it depends on the child.
Thanks for reading
Mel xo

ReplyDeleteMy 14-yr. old would like this, especially if she was the one making it.
ReplyDeleteI actually had a case of Viagra to sell so I stopped by, but then I saw your message, and realized there were no sales to be had here. Not wanting to waste a trip, I spied your amazing jewelry and was impelled to comment on how awesome your bottle caps are! Cheers Mel!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun! I hope to try this some day...and by that I mean, probably never because making jewelry scares me. So cute though. I should put my big girl panties on and give it a try.
