Bottle cap jewelry? That sounds interesting. I hope someone has some pictures for you too, I'd like to see what it looks like.

In the scrapbooking stores you can find bottle caps that people use for card making and scrapbooks. They usually have foam tape inside of them.

I dont make bottlecaps but i make scrabble tile and glass tile pendants and I believe there are similar methods! The supplier i love is http://www.etsy.com/shop/SunAndMoonC...ller_usernames

and i found all these tutorials just by searching google
http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&h...f34ab5383c7ee9

Google is a crafters friend! Just search "how to make" and whatever u want to make! Or "bottlecap tutorials", etc.

I like the supplies from Sun and Moon on etsy and her glaze is better than diamond glaze.

Thanks so much! I heard good things about Et Lite, but I do not like the idea of mixing them and the fumes. I was going to buy Diamond, but will have to check out the Sun and Moon!

Miss_Jackie, did you smooth down the edges on the bottle cap bracelet? Those are really neat.

Why would she need to smooth the edges?
Those look to be screw-offs, no sharp edge there. Po)

They weren't screw offs an she doesn't have to smooth the edges. That is just what I did, I have made some without smashing them down like that.

They sell blank bottle caps all over the place on etsy and artfire. Im guessing those are 'ready to go' for such things.
