53. Bottle Cap Magnets

MATERIALS:

metal bottle caps from soda or beer bottles
Photographs or photocopied images, magazine pictures, comic book pictures, etc.
White glue
Round magnets
Hot glue gun (with hot glue stick)
EnviroTex Lite or Ultra Glo varnish kit (includes varnish and hardener & can be found at craft stores), or other clear / non-yellowing sealant

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut your image(s) to fit inside the bottle cap.
2. Using the white glue, adhere image to the inside of cap - make sure the image is smooth and there are no air bubbles or wrinkles
3. place a little glue on top of the image, smooth, and let dry
4. Cover image with EnviroTex, or varnish and let cure for 24 hours (make sure you follow the directions on the label).
5. Using the glue gun, attach the magnet to the bottle cap

ALTERNATE IDEAS:

You can also drill a small hole in the top of the bottle cap & attach a small O-ring for a cord (to make a necklace) or a key chain

Instead of using the inverse side for images, why not just glue the magnet inside the bottle cap and let the cap be the magnet.
