Simple Large Fall Tag

Good morning.

Cyn here and I am back with another tag.

Have I said I love tags? Yes I think I did in my last post.

But it is true.

You can use them in scrabooking, bookmarks, pictures,writing notes!

This tag is really large. I cut it out and put it on black cardstock to make it pop.

I also added a little bottle cap graphic from my last post. So cute!

I added some large jute and coffee stained twine to the top.

Kind of gives it the prim country look.

Bottle Cap Magnets & Rosettes

I really enjoy working with Deena's bottle cap images, if I could my 1" circle punch it would be a lot faster but even without the punch these are very fast to cut out and work with.

 

Click here to view file. You get 5 different designs, there are 6 rows on the sheet for a total of 30 bottle caps and you can print as many as you need.

 

All you need to do is cut the images out either with a 1" circle punch or by hand. I inked my edges and used some 3D Crystal Lacquer to adhere the images to the inside of the bottle caps. I added more of the 3D Lacquer on top of the images to give them a bit of a shine. On the backside of the bottle caps I attached a magnet with my hot glue gun.





I also made a rosette and attached a magnet to the backside then I made another rosette without a magnet. Rosettes are very versatile there are so many different things you can use them for. They make great gift "bows" as well as banners, cards, scrapbook pages and my favorite use is to make themed pins with them.

 

All of these projects are very fast and easy to make, they make great last minute gifts, party favors, etc.

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Warm Snowmen Ornament

I love the holiday season because there is such inspiration around you.  I found these ornaments at Michael's and had seen someone else make an ornament out of one half.  I used the Warm Snowmen hang tags and chose one for inside of my ornament.  I put fake snow and a background scalloped circle and some jewels to give it some sparkle.

 

Bottle Cap Image Inserts

Tried a photo not on the tree and tried to block the glare from the light outside.  You can make so many of these ornaments with the hang tags and bottle cap inserts and get two ornaments for the price of one ball.  There are different size circles as well.

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.

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!

Bookmarks from Bottle Caps and Jumbo Paper Clips

Not long ago, someone asked me a question about making bookmarks out of those big jumbo paper clips. It seems everyone sees them from the front, but no one knows how to finish them off on the back.

I've made several and although I don't claim to be an expert on them, this method does seem to work for me.

You may have seen my bottle cap crafting tutorial on my website, www.EweNmePrintables.com. You can refer to that on how to make the bottle cap part of this project.

After the front side of the bottle cap is completely dry, I added some E-6000 to the back of the bottlecap and attached the paper clip. So it looks something like this...

After that, I added a couple of layers of patterened paper that I've punched out with a 1 inch circle punch to cover up the "mess". I just used a white glue for this. You could probably modpodge or lacquer over the paper to protect it. However, I didn't, and it seems to hold up fine.

That's pretty much how it's done. Below is a photo of some of the finished bottlecap bookmarks I made a few years ago. They're still holding up after all this time.

Be sure to check out all of the printable bottle cap images I sell on my website. All of my bottlecap images sell for only $2 and can be printed as many times as you like.

Thanks, once again, for visiting!
