How-To Make A Bottle Cap Bracelet

Step 1: Poke 2 holes, using a sharp awl, into the side grooves of the bottle caps, repeat this step on the opposite side of the bottle caps for a total of 4 holes.














Step 2: Put small dab of glue onto top of bottle cap to attach image.














Step 3: Use Modge Podge to completely cover image securing the edges. I do about 2 thin coats.














Steps 4 & 5: Start attaching the bottle caps with 2 jump rings through the holes. 2 jump rings will be attached to 2 bottle caps.




























An average adult bracelet uses about 5-6 bottle caps.
Finish off ends with a toggle clasp.
