Things You'll Need:
- 1 milk, juice, beer or soda pop bottle cap
- 1 ring finding
- epoxy resin (such as EnviroTex Lite, Colores Doming Resin or ICE Resin)
- Photograph, old paper or fabric (such as an old magazine, invitation, brochure, scarf, etc)
- Clear drying glue (such as Mod Podge® or Elmer's)
-
Step 1
Select a bottle cap that you want to use for your project. Consider the size, color and material when selecting a bottle cap.
-
Step 2
Select some fabric, a photograph, an old invitation or clipping from a magazine. Place the bottle cap on the object you selected and trace a circle. Cut the circle. Trim the circle until it fits inside the bottle cap.
-
Step 3
Prepare the cut circle by painting or spraying it on both sides with a clear drying glue (such as Mod Podge® or Elmer's). The purpose of preparing the circle is to keep the dye from bleeding when you embed it in resin. Allow the glue to dry.
-
Step 4
Mix the resin according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place the object in the base of the bottle cap. Pour the resin over the object so the object is covered with resin. Continue to pour in the resin until the bottle cap is full and the resin is nicely domed.
-
Step 5
Remove any bubbles that form in the resin. If you do not know how to remove bubbles then see our eHow How to Remove Bubbles from Resin at http://www.ehow.com/how_5528538_remove-bubbles-resin.html or click the link in the resource section of this article.
-
Step 6
Allow the resin to dry overnight or according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
Step 7
Once the resin is dry, take the commercial ring finding and glue it to the back of the bottle cap with epoxy resin.
