Woo!
Ok, mini party over. Now on to the craft project!
This is a cute little stocking stuffer that is so easy to make, and so fun to get. If you have any beer lovers in your life, they make a great gift!
Items you'll need:
Bottle caps
Small magnets
Cardboard
Glue Gun
Start with some bottle caps. If you're like me, you've saved every bottle cap for years and years with the thought that someday you'd find a use for them.
Pick out ones you know your recipient will love. Maybe it's their favorite beer, maybe it's from a brewery in their hometown, whatever they might have a particular love for. For these recipients, I chose all Sam Adams bottle caps, since they love Sam Adams beer and live in Boston.
Since my magnets I bought were pretty thin, I needed to cut out two small circles of cardboard to fill in the bottle cap. I hot glued each layer together and to the inside of the bottle cap, and then hot glued the magnet to the cardboard.
Your circles don't have to be perfect because once they're on the fridge, no one will see the inside!
Then, in the time it takes for hot glue to cool, you have cute fridge magnets!
A fun, cheap, and still personal stocking stuffer!
Congratulations on your 100th post! I LOVE bottlecap magnets. So cute, so easy. Hatachino beers are tasty and the cap features a cute owl: these make the best bottlecap magnets!

ReplyDeleteWho would think that these bottle caps can still be purposeful? Thanks for such a neat idea! And of course, congratulations on your 100th post.

ReplyDeleteStopping in from SITS! Cute idea. Congrats on your 100th post! Neuffj @ The Neuffj
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I love it.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I haven't saved every bottle cap from every bottle I ever opened so now I'm hoarding every single one from every single glass-bottle-coke and beer and juice and...whatever else I can get. Making three magnets at a time is not very fulfilling. lol.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 100th post! I made bottle cap magnets last summer with Izzie caps (very cute:)). I could not find my glue gun, so I just stacked small adhesive-backed magnet sheet pieces, and attached with a glue dot. It was very quick. Your blog makes me miss Chicago:).
