Bottle Cap Push Pins

Bottle Cap Push Pins

 
Great gifts for the beer drinker with a bulletin board are Bottle Cap Push Pins! What is even better is that you are recycling and spend practically nothing on this unique idea!

What you need are:

  • Some unbent bottle caps (If you or someone you know works in a restaurant, save a bunch and you will have a variety to choose from.)
  • Push pins
  • Hot Glue Gun 

Video Tutorial



Steps:


  1. Prep your work area with some news paper.
  2. Plug in and warm up your hot glue gun.
  3. Fill the bottle cap about half way with hot glue.
  4. Place a push pin in the center.
  5. Let dry between 5 -15 minutes.
My sister worked in a restaurant for years and she would always come home with the random bottle cap in her pockets so I would save them and turn the into gifts for friends that were turning 21. They make great 21st birthday gifts, holiday gifts for beer drinkers, Father's Day gifts, graduation gifts for students who are about to start life in a dorm, or for anyone who would appreciate your recycling! They are unique and you can chose what bottle cap you want to use. You can do a set of all of the same kind if you have a room mate or a family member who only drinks one kind, or you can do a variety if you have the means to get different ones.
Enjoy!

About Me

Nala's Décor


Like many, I am the typical poor college student. I work a lot, but that part time job only pays enough for the tank full of gas and the occasional splurge for fast food between classes. While I am living pretty comfortably, the problem arises when the holidays roll around. What is worse is how my entire family has birthdays that are mixed between holidays!

What I hope to accomplish with this blog is sharing great gifts that I give to friends and family, without sacrificing too many lunches!
