More Bottle Cap Fun

I have been inspired very recently by Kathy Cano-Murillo, "The Crafty Chica". Her spirit and sense of fun, not to mention her great ideas, have been so helpful to me.

She recently posted a great project for Bottle Cap Magnets. This is a winner of a camp craft. Cheap, easy, and hard to mess up.

I made a similar set today, to try it out, and here they are:
I attached the cute little graphic (I got these from Jelly Bean Lab, an Etsy merchant, and printed them on my computer) with ModPodge to the back of flat backed glass marble.The whole marble then gets glued to the inside of the bottle cap. I filled in the open area with glitter glue, and then embellished the glue with tiny li'l seed beads.

A good magnet goes on the back, and these'll dress up any old boring refrigerator.

I love it when things work out!!!

Hey I just found your blog and went through each page. How cool. I worked at a summer camp as the arts and crafts director once and it was the best job ever. Like you I did research the during the year before, it was so fun!

I made up one project that you might like, it worked pretty well for the campers where I worked. Here is the direct link on my blog: http://infusedgoods.blogspot.com/2008/04/folding-paper-lantern-tutorial.html
It is for folding lanterns made from wooden craft sticks and tissue paper.

@Infusedgoods - thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful tutorial. I love it! I must admit I've always had an aversion to popsicle stick crafts, but I can absolutely make an exception here!

I'll be posting this with a photo and a link to your blog...and I'll be making these with our campers this summer, (pictures will follow!) Thanks again!
