(Newswire.net — January 24, 2014) Nampa, Idaho — With the rapidly growing interest in making crafts out of inexpensive, everyday products, has come an increase in a demand for these supplies. One of these items quickly growing in popularity is bottle caps. Bottle caps are an ideal item to use when crafting because of their circular shape and already-fringed edge. Many people have come up with very creative and innovative ideas to use bottle caps in a number of ways. From jewelry to home décor to artwork, there are an endless number of crafts that can be created.
One of the most popular crafts that can be made with bottle caps, especially among teenagers, is jewelry. They can be made into necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and even rings! The assorted logos available with different types of bottle caps make it very easy for teens to express themselves, and the different colors make it possible to have jewelry that matches every outfit. It is also very easy to glue pictures to bottle caps or paint them any color you would like. In this way, they act as the base or frame for any type of circular jewelry.
But the possibilities for bottle caps extend far beyond jewelry. If you have a lot of bottle caps in a variety of colors, you will be able to make patterns and designs out of them. One popular way to create bottle cap art is select a design you would like to create (such as a peace symbol or a cross) and then select the colors for the design and for the background. You then glue them to a board so that the entire board is completely covered. Attach a piece of string to the back of the board so it can be hung on a wall, and then hang it up or give it away as a gift. Another way they can be used around the home is to create door streamers. The metal edge of the bottle caps will need to be folded in on itself to make the cap flat, then the caps just need to be attached to string and hung in your doorway.

If you are hosting a party, bottle caps can be a great and inexpensive way to decorate and customize everything. They can be made into wine charms for each guest to have a unique one for their glass. They can be attached to napkin bands so each place-setting can express the party theme. They can even be used to create signs. Either the words of the sign (such as ‘Welcome Home’) can be spelled out in bottle caps, or the bottle caps can be used to boarder the sign.
Bottle caps can also be used as part of the décor around your home. A plain coffee table can be jazzed-up and personalized by gluing colored bottle caps on it in a pattern, and then pouring lacquer over top of it to create a smooth surface. If you are feeling particularly ambitious, you can even do this to your floor. Instead of buying expensive tiles for on top of your cement floors, you can use bottle caps to create a custom design, and then finish it with lacquer to have a floor that will last you far longer than any tiles would.
