Description

I made these for presents for my buddies this christmas and I used stuff lying around the house, it's fun to do while watching the dark knight, or some other really long movie.

Instructions

  1. Small 18312

    so you get all of your supplies and pop in batman, because this is gonna take a while

  2. Small 18313

    while the credits are rolling, bug your dad to drill a whole in your old bottlecaps because you don't want to drill your finger, remember to drill near the top of the cap. (afterwards, if you want to use the spray on primer, now is the time.)

  3. Small 18314

    now paint your bottle caps one of your favorite colors and let dry while watching movie.

  4. Small 18315

    now with your second favorite color, paint splotches or designs on it and let the top layer dry slightly. now, press the tulle on top of the somewhat dry caps to make that neato design.

  5. Small 18316

    (OPTIONAL STEP) now paint with collage gloss and press rhinestones into the wet gloss.

  6. Small 18317

    Last, you take the wire and loop it around the hole that you drilled earlier and the earring hook, tye it and voila! funky earrings that everybody will want
