Wait! Come back! I have no excuses today! And I actually have something kinda crafty!

I made bottlecap necklaces to give to my 18 Brownie Scouts at our end of year ceremony last Friday.

And…then I kept going and made some little bottlecap necklace wardrobes for two of our little friends who have had birthdays in the past few months.

For Miss Payton:

And Miss Lauren:

The possibilities for these are endless. Endless, I tell you! Birdie Jamie made a set for Emma for her birthday and she has a soccer one, a dance one, a piano, our school logo, and her initial. They are really fun and they are magnetic so they just snap off. The necklace has a 1/2″ washer that you get from the hardware store, and the bottlecaps just snap on.

I know Jen has done a tutorial on how she does these. Jamie just brought a sample back last winter when she was visiting crafty people in the south and then she found (already cleaned, painted) bottlecaps on etsy. They are really fun to put together.

Then I found these little metal pizza pans at the $1 store, spray painted it and embellished it using our nifty little Silhouette. I just glued hangers (minutes after these photos were taken) on the back and when it dries I’m gonna put a nice big ribbon on it so the girls can hang it on their wall and keep their bottlecaps in check.

I’ve got other stuff brewing as well. I will work on getting it all together and also get permission to use my Dad’s photos of my mom’s new craft cove. Yes, the big reveal…it is pretty awesome and maybe inspiring for those of you looking to revamp a space over the summer. Wait til you see it!
