Icing on the bottlecap

A couple days ago I made a bottlecap embellishment. I bought a bag of cleaned bottlecaps about 10 months ago because they were a great deal, LOL. I have always meant to alter them and make magnets and stuff out of them. So I was sitting around soldering some glass and saw my bag o’ caps and decided to alter one later in the day. I wanted to use resin to seal the image, but I also wanted to see how well my diamond glaze would work. I dont like the diamond glaze in place of resin, so next time I’ll whip some up. I ended up with a cute bottle cap and nothing to do with it.

Then last night the sketch challenge on SCS was posted and it contained circles, so I KNEW I had to use my bottlecap! I’m glad I made it to, cause I think it makes a really cute and unique embellishment.

You can find cleaned bottlecaps on etsy or ebay. They are easy to alter, just flatten with a mallet and then punch out a 1 inch circle of patterened paper, or stamp an image. Then fill the bottlecap with resin, or diamond glaze in a pinch. I sprinkled some pink glitter on top of the glaze while it was still wet.

I am super tired today. I’ve had about 4 hours of sleep in the last 2 nights, so when Sean comes home later this afternoon I am taking a nap.
