Then, what to our wondering eyes should appear,

but brilliant bottlecaps. So have you ever wondered what to do with our wonderful bottlecaps? Well, our awesome DT has come up with some great ideas. Our first one is from Judi. Betcha never thought of this idea? It's her version of Christmas light reflectors. She drilled a hole through the cap so the light would fit in. Then she added pink glitter to the leftover circles of the blossom chipboard and attached. These ornaments were made by Lisa using the bottlecaps and blossom chipboard. This is a 6X6 canvas that Greetje altered using Distress Ink and Dabbers from Ranger. She painted the bottlecaps and placed a photo inside. Did you notice how she also used the rub-ons, Maya Road paper from the Journey Kits, Blossom III and petal chipboard? Here's Aubrey's project! She's still trying to figure out what do about a picture since they don't get a lot of snow in East Texas. :)

Ok, if you need a quick last minute idea, Suzy came up with a perfect one. She melted chocolate chips and put a big spoon full into each cup (after spraying with cooking spray). She then put sprinkles on them while still wet. She said they come out of the bottlecaps perfectly with just a push and a shake! I think this would be a fun Christmas gift and the recipient could use the bottlecaps again (even on a scrapbook project like they were intended for!

Kim made this cute card using a bottlecap on the front.

Wendy made a mini album using a Blossom chipboard coaster album. I like how she used the bottlecaps a couple times through out her album.

Caroline made these cute little magnets by attaching a picture in the middle and gluing a sheer blossom on the back of the bottlecaps. She then attached a magnet on the back. Perfect gift for Grandparents. Hope these projects give you some inspiration or ideas. I would love to see your projects using bottlecaps.
