Make This: Bottle Cap Pendants

 Altered Bottle Caps
Here is an oldie but goodie! 
This is from season 1 of Creative Juice!

Bottle Cap Charm Instructions:
bottle caps
small images
1" circle punch
Mod Podge
Dimensional Magic
sewing pin
small nail
hammer
wooden board

Steps:
1. If you want to use a jump ring: punch one hole through the rim of each bottle cap with a hammer and nail. Use an old wood board as a work surface. If you want to glue the charm: you will not need to punch a hole.

2. Use the 1" circle punch to cut the image into a circle. Glue the image to the to the inside of the bottle cap and allow to dry. If you punched a hole: Make sure the image is facing up, toward the punched hole.  Glue into the cap with a drop of Mod Podge.

3. Seal the image with a thick coating of Dimensional Magic and allow it to dry following the manufacturer's instructions. If you get an air bubble, poke the bubble with a sewing pin. Allow to dry unmoved for at least 24 hours.

4. To make a single pendant, use jewelry pliers to attach a jump ring through the punched hole and slide onto a necklace.

5. You can also glue them to findings, frames, magnets, etc using a strong glue like E6000.
