Rocker - glam necklace for those who want, but don't have studs
I've seen a lot of bottle cap lockets on here, but none were bad-ass enough for me...
These bracelets I had (look at the first how-to picture) happened to have rhinestones that look a lot like studs, so I flipped 'em over and glued them down the wrong way :P This is yet another project that cost me absolutely NOTHING! I had everything in my house already (woo!)
If you have actual studs (or spikes... ooh ^.^), then use those if you want! Really, you can glue any type of charm/picture/design thingy to the bottle cap. So if you do a version, lemme see it! :D
This is really easy, so have fun and get creative with it! xD

Step 1This is what I mean by a "Rhinestone link bracelet".
I have SO MANY of these from when I was younger and I never wear them now, so this was a good use for them.
-
Step 2Use your fingernails/pliers to loosen and pick out the rhinestones.
I used about 20, but you can use less if you want.
-
Step 3Take 'em out!
-
Step 4Now get your bottle cap and flatten the edges out, so it sorta looks like a top hat/UFO :P
-
Step 5Now curl the edges up just a bit.
-
Step 6It'll basically look like this :)
-
Step 7Now paint the middle of the bottle cap.
Leave the bumpy outer bits plain, unless you really don't like the design on there.
-
Step 8I found it looked a lot better if i put on a few layers on nail polish :)
Really, at this point you could glue on any charm or number of beads or anything of that sort.
-
Step 9Turn your rhinestones upside down (pointy side-up) and arrange them as you like.
This is the glue I used. It's basically just super/crazy glue.
-
Step 10Stick some glue to your rhinestone and place the first one closest to the centre as possible.
This will make it easier to glue the other ones around it.Don't forget this stuff can dry fast! So place it in the right spot, because it's difficult to move!
-
Step 11Adding them around starting from the centre...
You can stop here if you like, but i wanted to fill it up :P
-
Step 12Arrange the next "layer"...
-
Step 13... And glue it on :)
I added one more "layer" of rhinestones after this picture, but my camera died.
-
Step 14Superglue a jump ring to the top and put a chain through it - it's ready to wear!
Enjoy! :D
