Recently I made a project that used recycled (actually saved-from-the-recycling) plastic jugs. I didn't need the caps at the time but I kept them because I love circles and I thought I'd figure out something to do with them--and I did. I actually figured out three things to do with them: a magnet, a necklace or a pair of earrings! So grab some caps and choose whether you want to wear them or display them on your fridge!
1
Apply a thin layer of decoupage medium to the cap with a brush. Press the paper or fabric firmly to attach.
2
Trim carefully around edges if needed.
3
Apply another thin layer to the top of the cap being sure to seal around the edges.
4
Let dry and either apply a second layer of decoupage medium or a layer of varnish.
5
Let dry overnight.
6
Glue on the magnet or:
7
Cut a length of cord and attach the end caps with loops and the clasp.
8
Attach the large jump ring to the cap.
9
(use an awl or a push pin to make a hole in the top of the cap) String cord through ring and:
10
Voila!!!
11
For earrings simply attach the ear wires to the caps or attach a jump ring to the caps and the ear wires to the jump ring!
Put on, feel fabulous and enjoy their near-weightlessness!!!!!
