Bottlecap magnets........

These are fun!! and so easy!!
Items you need:
  • bottlecaps (I bought mine off of ebay..100 for 10 bucks!)
  • diamond glaze
  • scrapbooking paper (make sure it has small print)
  • 1 inch circle hole punch
  • glue stick
  • magnets
  • E-600 glue
First you need to cut your paper... use your 1 inch paper punch to make perfect circles! You can use scrapbook paper, newspaper, magazines, printed pictures (laser printer only) ..use your imagination!


Then you will glue the paper to the inside of the bottle cap. Use your glue stick and make sure it is sealed flat. If it is not flat you will get air bubbles later when you add the diamond glaze.



Now glue on your magnets to the back. You need to use the E-6000 glue! Use nice solid magnets that will hold your stuff to the magnet board.


At this point you can add embellishments if you like..You can add beads, buttons glitter ect.
Lastly you will fill your bottle caps with the diamond glaze and let dry overnight. I took a picture of it because its hard to find!! One tip: do not shake your bottle of diamond glaze! It will get air bubbles!! Sometimes you will get a few anyway..just pull them out with a tooth pick.

Now you have these cute, personalized and wonderful magnets!! SO easy to make!!
