Christmas Scrapbook Idea: Bottlecaps

Aren’t they cool? Altered bottle caps for the Christmas holiday season! Idea courtesy of Scrapbook Diva herself, Ali Edwards!

How did Ali Edwards alter the bottle caps?

1. Collect up all your holiday stuff and get it into one spot (this is obviously a really general step one…but it will help you be able to create stuff over the next couple months to get ready for the holidays).
2. Pick out some small embellishments that you want to showcase in your bottlecaps.
3. Use a circle punch to cut some holiday patterned paper. I used the new Fiskars circle punch – loving this tool.
4. Layer elements inside each bottlecap.
5. Squeeze Glossy Accents (a clear dimensional medium that will dry hard) into the bottlecap – enough to cover your layered elements.
6. Let it dry. I let mine sit overnight (away from interested little hands). It looks cloudy when you first squeeze all the liquid in there but it dries clear. Mine ended up with a bunch of bubbles – it probably had to do with how I was squeezing but I decided it was cool like that.
7. Attach a magnet to the back. I used the new magnets from Basic Grey. Stick the magnets on your fridge and celebrate the season.
