For the past few years my theatre company has held a weekend retreat. And each year I make everybody in the company a Milk Can (we're The Milk Can Theatre Company) themed gift. The first year I made t-shirts. Then I made coffee mugs. This year they're all getting jewelry. I made necklaces out of bottle caps, UTEE, shrink plastic, paper, leather, and aluminum wire. Check them out:
They were quick and easy to make. I drew the milk can on a piece of shrink plastic and then placed it in my melting pot with some UTEE. Once it had shrunk, I pulled it out and placed it into the empty bottle cap. I poured in some UTEE and let it harden up. Then, I added the little paper words and another layer of UTEE. I used a heat gun to smooth out the surface and I was done!
So save your bottle caps! You never know when you might need them!
