Save those beer bottle caps!

Bottle caps are a big thing with scrapbookers and you can buy them at craft stores or on Ebay.  But I save my own!  The look is different when they have been crimped but they are still cool.  Paint your bottle caps your favorite color and decorate accordingly.  This is a free download of Santa Heads printed on my printer and cut out.  I have a one inch hole punch that I turn upside down to get it perfectly over the picture.  If you don't have a hole punch, you can just cut them out with a scissors.  Glue to dried cap. (inside)  You can decorate however you want!  I use a modgepodge filler to cover the photo and I dip the crimping in glue and glitter.  But there are many things you can do with them!
I added mine to an aged and stamped tag.  You could make a necklace, (maybe a little locket type necklace with your favorite photo inside.)  You might try funky earrings, a collage of photos when mounted to a board, a Christmas ornament, and the list goes on.  Get creative!
