Bottle Caps?
I have a ton of bottle caps that came off of glass bottles. They are really cool and I would like to make somethings with them. Does anyone have any ideas? If so, can you include the directions or a website explaining it? I need some inspiration. Thank you.

Get a strong fishing line, standing bottle cap up, drill hole thru
sides from top to bottom string on fishing line, space apart with colored beads and make beaded bottle cap curtains for a doorway--that would be cool.

I've covered gift boxes with them, frames, mirrors, even a little table that has a checkerboard on the top and use the bottle caps to play. You could also make a cornice box for above a window with them for a kitchy look. I found the best glue to hold them is the E-6000. I even covered some cigar boxes I got for free from the local smoke shop and gave them as "remote control boxes" as Christmas gifts. You can find cheap frames at the Big Lots and cheap mirrors at the discounters. Oh, yeah I even covered an inexpensive planter with them, but don't recommend putting it outside because some of the older caps rusted.

I love halloween! I saved bottle caps for a halloween costume. I took a old cowboy hat and placed the bottle caps all around it with a hot glue gun.. then I wore a t-shirt advertising a specific drink... the hat hangs in my house.. and makes for very interesting conversation. I also collected rare and new bottle caps... maybe not what you are looking for, but it is inspiration.. and interesting.

My recycle center will take the caps and bottles, they only ask which you get rid of the cap from the bottle. the reason i replaced into instructed replaced into that the caps can exchange into flying projectiles if run over by using a chunk of equipment or will become lodged interior the crusher

Put them on a table coffee table whatever, surround it with a molding of the same height, then get an acrylic polymer to pour in for a new and interesting tabletop.

You can make a wreath with a hot glue gun, or use photo frames and glue them inside...the deep "shadowbox" type frames.
Or, buy a serving tray, glue them on and then use a shalaque to make a hard, clear surface. You can do just about anything with hot glue gun and/or shalaque.
Very cool idea....I do lots of wine cork stuff...or used to anyway.
