Now you're finished! Keep scrolling for some inspiration, tips & ideas!
Bottle Cap Necklace Tips & Tricks:
- After gluing an image to the TOP of the bottle cap lay the bottle cap on a flat surface and press around the edges as the glue dries. Bottle caps are ever so slightly curved near the edges and this will form the epoxy dot to this curve.
- When printing an image to adhere to the TOP of a bottle cap choose lighter weight photo paper with a gloss, semi gloss or matte finish. The thinner paper will give less resistence in adhering to the slight dome towards the edge of the bottle cap.
- Use a split ring instead of a jump ring for making children's jewelry pendants as they allow for more wear and tear.
- Rub a colored alchohol ink on the surface of a distressed black bottle cap to give it a unique look with some dimension. Kind of like those colored acid washed jeans that I used to wear in Junior High!?!
- If you'd like to shorten your ball chain necklace just get some scissors and clip it to the desired length.

Thanks! That's a great suggestion! We're working on it.

Could you make a picture tuyorial on how to use the tool to attach the split rings? No directions came with it. Thanks.
Wende Date 8/9/2011 1:11:35 PM
Yes, thank you for asking. I will make a picture tutorial this week about how to use the split ring tool.

Are you going to start selling the little bead charms or any other embellishments for the necklaces?
Wende Date 8/16/2011 1:17:22 PM
Yes! We're working on it, researching and planning. We don't know exactly when yet but it is in the works! Thanks for asking.

If I want to use my own image what paper is best to use and how could I get the right size for a standard cap
Wende Date 2/3/2012 10:08:36 AM
Photo paper is best to use. I like using thinner photo paper as it bends easier to the very slight curve of the bottle cap if you are using it on the top of the cap. The standard cap size is 1 inch so I like to make my images slightly bigger, that way the 1" punch will cleanly punch the design with no white border showing.
Thanks for the question. Let me know if there is anything else you need to know :0)

Hi Wende! I just finished a craft show yesterday and the necklaces sold out. I'm curious about one thing. I want to make them interchangable with magnets, but the only tutorials I'm finding are for children's stretchy necklaces. How would I make them interchangable and keep them on the ball and chain necklace? Thank you for your help!
