1. Once you get your Bottle Caps, you will have to remove the plastic disk on the inside of the cap. This may be a bit tricky. If you cannot pull it out (I couldn’t) then you have to heat the inside of the cap with a heat tool, then pull it out. This took a while to do since the piece didn’t come out all at once. Be careful, it gets very hot.

2. Next, place your bottle cap with the colored side of the cap facing up and cover with something so you don’t mark up the cap. I like to cover it with my cutting mat ( I have a small one that is about 3x5) and then I know approximately where the cap is underneath it and hit it with my hammer going around the outside edges of the cap.   Be sure to place a paper towel on the bottom, then the cap and then the mat.  You want to try to stay away from the center of the cap or you will flatten that as well (but if you do you can always flip it back over and hit it on the inside).  It doesn't take too long to flatten the cap the way you want it. 

 3. Cut or punch out image from the Circle Pix collage sheet. Using Crystal Effects or your favorite glue, glue your image inside the cap and let dry.

4. Mix up the Envirotex Lite (follow instructions on the box), pour into top of bottle cap and let cure for 72 hours.

5. Using your Dremel Tool or drill, make holes in the bottom and top of the cap.

6. String beads onto wire and attach to holes in cap.

7. Attach zipper pull or Silver Charm Pin. You will probably need silver jump rings to do this.

A note from Trina Jennings: The best way to get the liner out of  bottle caps is place them in a pan of water and let them boil 3 or 4 minutes. Take out of pan with craft pliers and pull liner out with tweezers. Works every time. :)
