The boy used have a serious problem leaving bottle caps everywhere! At first, it used to drive me crazy but then I noticed some of the caps had some pretty interesting artwork. I decided to keep some of the more interesting ones and the boy started to shovel them into a kitchen drawer. "sigh" At least they weren't left all over the counter.
The magnets are so easy to make! A pack of round flexible magnets from a craft store and hot glue. That's it! Although, I did use some felt I had around to add more depth since the magnets I bought were a little vertically challenged. Kind of like me!
Bottle caps with felt glued to the backs
Magnets glued to the backs on top of the felt
Presto! Bottle cap magnets!
Happy crafting!
I love this idea! I've been hoarding bottle caps, thinking about doing the same thing. Looking forward to more time for crafting after grad school!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I didn't do this sooner. I've been hoarding bottle caps for 4 years and it took all of 20 minutes to make the magnets!! Good luck with finishing up with grad school, Ashley!! I can't believe you're almost done!! :-)
