Yay for Friday! 🙂 I hope you all had a wonderful week! I wanted to share a quick and affordable gift idea that was a huge hit for Christmas, but would make a fantastic gift for Valentine’s Day too.
I saw these first over at Lemon Tree Creations and thought they would be the perfect gift for grandparents and aunts and uncles!
I followed Tiffany’s easy tutorial and found the cute, little tins at Wal-Mart. They even had bows already on them. Everyone thought they were the cutest and I couldn’t resist making a set for me too.
I ended up buying a few more tins at Wal-Mart after Christmas because I love this idea. I also found some non-Christmasy ones at Hobby Lobby on clearance a few days ago. Hmm…what else can I put on bottle caps? 🙂
I think any grandparent would love a set of these with all their grandkiddos on them for Valentine’s Day, don’t you think?
Instructions for Making Bottlecap Magnets
- Tulle
- Poly Satin Circles
- Clip-On Earrings
- Small Tins
- Adhesive for attaching
- Images for bottlecaps (family photos, etc.)
1. Prepare the Tulle
Cut the tulle into small circles, approximately the size of the bottle caps.
2. Create the Volume
Layer the tulle circles to create volume before attaching them to the bottle caps.
3. Prepare the Poly Satin Circles
Cut out the poly satin circles that will back the tulle embellishments.
4. Layer the Components
Layer the tulle circle on top of the poly satin circle, and then place a bottle cap on top.
5. Additional Personalization
Add any images or sentiments to the bottlecap before sealing everything together.
6. Attach the Clip-On Earring
Using adhesive, attach the clip-on earring to the back of the bottlecap creation.
7. Prepare the Shoes
This step might be optional, but feel free to create matching accessories if you wish to match the magnets.
8. Make Additional Pairs
Encourage making more pairs for friends or other family members, customizing each set differently.
9. Enjoy Your Custom Creation
Share your completed magnets with friends and family, and enjoy your creative work!
Conclusion
This project is not just about making gifts; it’s about expressing your creativity and personal style. I hope you enjoy making these adorable bottlecap magnets as much as I did!
