Magnets/Ornaments Using Bottle Cap Image Inserts

Today I had the pleasure of using Fall Leaves Two Bottle Cap Image Inserts, these are very, very easy to work with. 

You get 36 bottle cap inserts, 6 of each design. I made all of these and have a full row of 6 left. I also had some boo-boos, some trial and error items.

First I made some magnets.

Printable adhered to inside of bottle cap.

Printable adhered to outside of bottle cap.

Doubled up bottle caps.

A 1" circle punch is perfect for cutting these out. Since I can't find my 1" circle punch I just cut them out freehand, it didn't take long at all. I inked my edges then glued to the bottle caps.

Inner and outer.

The images seemed to want to curl up a bit on the outer edges so I weighted them down with magnets.

After the images are totally dry turn the bottle caps over and glue the magnets onto the opposite sides that the images are on.

The double sided magnets were made very similar to the ornaments, minus the alpaca wool for hanging and the additional image on the other side.

I used my glue gun to attach the wool to the bottle caps, making sure to pile up enough hot glue to attach an additional bottle cap to the backside, insides matching.

 Can you see the bit of a ridge behind the bottle cap? That is the other side, both sides are showing red when you turn them around. I did both the ornaments and double sided magnets this way.

Fun and Games Checker Board

I am so excited to share my first design team post for Ewe-N-Me Printables.  I love these printables and they are so easy to use and print up gorgeously in your printer.  I love salt box homes and thought this would be a really fun set to make.  I bought a plain wooden tray from Joann's and painted it with Martha Stewart's Chipotle color paint.  It matched the red salt box homes perfectly.  I printed out both image sheets on cardstock and then adhered black cardstock to the tray with Modge Podge.  Once that was dry I adhered the game board over the cardstock and Modge Podged the whole tray and board piece.

I wanted to make the game pieces fit on the green squares like a real checkers board so used a round die to cut out the houses.  I inked half of the houses red and half black on the edge to denote the different players pieces.  I used red and black cardstock to punch matching circles to back the game pieces and popped them up so you can move them around easily.

Lastly, I printed Fun and Games with my Silhouette and put it on the outer long edge and tied some twine around the handle.  You can shop for these items in the Ewe-N-Me store and also with the links below.

Santa Bottlecap Display

Today I'd like to share my bottlecap collection with you.... Wow! Does that ever sound nerdy hahaha.... but anyway...

I have a TON of Santa bottlecaps that I've made over the years with  the printable bottlecap images from Ewe-N-Me. I have them displayed in an old printer's drawer which stays up in my office year-round. It's one of my favorite things.

I think when the holiday season rolls around again I'll bring it out in the main part of the house for all to see. Normally, I keep my office door closed (it can get a little messy). ;-)

If you'd like to learn how to make your own botttlecaps such as these, I have a tutorial on my website with step-by-step instructions. There's also a FREE DOWNLOAD at the bottom of the tutorial page so you can make you own Santa bottlecaps.

Ok... so just a recap... you can find all the printable bottlecap images by CLICKING HERE, and you can find the tutorial with the free printable by CLICKING HERE.

Thank you for visiting my blog today!
