Making bottle cap magnets is defined as a "junk-craft" in which the bottle caps which are usually thrown away are utilized to make attractive show pieces.
Beautiful bottlecap magnets can be made, provided they are available in the required quantities. Bottle caps can be chosen from empty beer or soda bottles. The edges of the cap can be twisted out to spread them. Fill the cavity with glossy acrylic white glue till the required thickness is achieved. Coating of the cap with poly urethane gel offers it a thick and glittery appearance. Since poly urethane is a yellow gel, the bottle cap on drying displays that color. Beautiful pictures can be cut out and pasted. You can spray adhesive to lock them to the bottle-cap. Hand painting and printing can also make the work attractive. After the glue has adhered to the cap along with the picture, the magnet is to be glued at the back of the cap and this can be made possible by spurting hot glue gun on the cap. Home setting of bottle-caps can mean a source of fun as well as a money saver.
Trendy bottle caps in charming colors and designs are available. These handcrafted, printed or hand drawn bottle-cap magnets are available with a variety of pictures such as cartoons, animals, historical paintings, topography, maps, constellations and even portraits of saints. Some are also engraved with famous proverbs and teachings or sayings of celebrities. These lovely bottle-cap magnets can be presented as a gift since the caps are also printed with occasional wishes and greetings. They are available in cute boxes, all set for gifting.
Manufactured bottle caps are sealed with non-toxic resins for permanency. They are graced and decorated with colorful glitters and sequins. They all have small and weightless magnets attached.
