Bottle Cap Beauties

Last night I tried a new jewelry making technique-bottle cap pendants. First, I took a few bottle caps and flattened them with a rubber mallet. This formed a really cool border. I then used a hammer and nail to make a small hole in the frame so I can later attach it to a necklace chain. I cut out 1 inch circles of 1950's calender girl pics and glued them to the inside of the bottle caps. I waited for that to dry then coated the picture with a thick layer of Diamond Glaze. I let it sit over night. They were so much fun to make! I'm now totally addicted and plan to make more tonight.



This is my first batch. I need to do some fine tuning with the process to make them perfect and wait for the ball chain necklaces to come in that I ordered to hang the pendants from. Then they'll be in my shop!
