Description

saw all these bottlecaps that looked really pretty but i had no use for it, so i did magnets.

Instructions

1. 

   first, you need to get bottle caps,clean them ,take out the rubber thats inside of it.

2. 

   now take the hammer and hammer the bottlecap flat, to get it extremely flat you´ll need to turn the cap a little. you may want to put some cloth over the cap to protect the varnish on top of it. WATCH YOUR FINGERS

3. 

   you should have a flat round piece of metal. if there are messages on de sides of the cap youre cap is done(i did so with the aloha-cap) but you can also make the metal-plates smaller by cutting them ,you can even cut them into form with a wire-cutter.

4. 

   all you need to do now is, to glue the bottlecaps to your magnets.i used old magnets from ugly ones i didnt like anymore, but i think you can buy magnets in craftstores and building centers. i used hot-glue but superglue might do well. and you re done :)
