Creativity’s A-popping with Bottle Caps!
How about some easy, custom mixed-media jewelry? Just pop images into these bottle caps (aka bottle crowns), seal, and glue the cap to a jewelry blank of your choice. (Pendants, pins, rings, bobby pins, cuff links, belt buckles…) These bottle caps are good to go: they have no pesky rubber lining! Choose from 4 sizes & 16 colors, plus a unique flower-shaped cap!
