Beer Cap Necklaces

[sparklingbutterfly]

So I found this really cool necklace in a book so I got my Dad to get Beer Caps from the guys he works with.....I got half a plastic grocery bag in one day. sweatdrop Lucky it was warm out so I worked outside and they dried really fast.

This is 7 of the 12 I made


How it looks on a chain

Thats so cute. ^^ You should use root beer caps for them- then the front and back wuld be equally fun. (then again, not everyone is as addicted to good root beer as I am)

mmm... rootbeer....

And Cricket Cola, or other bizarre drinks like that. Personally, i wouldn't want to use beer for them, in case my necklace got flipped around backwards.

Oh! Or, if you dont like pop, try this stuff called "The Switch". Its juice thats reconstitued with sparkling water instead of flat water. VERY yummy. ^^(lol- now I"ve got to go find a bottle- it's calling to me)

How do you put the loop ontop to hang it on? I've made magnets similar (not as pretty though) but i could never figure out how to make them a pendant.

maybe I'm just a Harry Potter nut... but did you get that from luna lovegood?

Oh, those are wonderful! We were saving our beer caps to make rattles and sistrums, but that's a good idea too!

And all our beer is actual beer (not that Coors/Bud/Miller/crap) so half the time you'd never know it was a beer cap from the design. cool

Lee - You are diff a HP nut I didn't even know she had beer cap necklaces

You take a pointy thing that has a screwdriver handle (sorry I can't remember what it is called sweatdrop ) and poke a hole in the side of the cap and then screw an Eye Screw in it.

I've actually started painting the backs cuz I'm thinkin' of selling them

oooo we have jone's at big bee's! *toddles off to seehow much they cost*  

[AriRashkae]

I think you speak of an awl.

How did you do the inside? Just super glue charms in?

And happy hunting with the sales! I may do the same at fairs around here. I don't think we'll be competing. wink
