Have you ever made "bottle cap art"?

Question

I have been collecting beer bottle caps for 3 months now, from parties, my own fridge, etc. Anyway, I am wanting to make something cool with them. I have seen chairs, stools, and other things like it.

Has anyone out there made anything like this before, or does anyone have any cool ideas that I could do?

Any tips, ideas, etc would be most appreciated! I want to start this process tomorrow!

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I don't know about using them in the ways you mentioned, but lots of people like to put things or materials or images inside the caps, then fill them up with a clear acrylic or 2-part epoxy resin.
After curing, they can be used for jewelry, magnets, or any type of embellishment, etc.
You could also use them for making some of the items you mentioned by putting stuff in them that would suggest those items, etc.

Here are all kinds of bottle cap suggestions:

yeah it's really fun! i like the belts you make ot of them you get seat belt buckel and hot glue the caps on the belt. pokeing holes throgh them is a pain you need a nail and a hammer and hammer the hole through the center then thread stiff wire through the hole to shape any design you want.
