How to Make Bottle Cap Magnets

Bottle Cap Magnets

Making bottle cap magnets is easy! Why not jazz up your fridge with custom bottlecap magnets. Stick up the kid's artwork with a bottlecap magnet they helped make, or dress up your vintage refrigerator with vintage bottlecaps for a retro look. Add pictures of the kids to the bottlecap magnets for a personal feel...it can even hold up their "to do list" or reminders for appointments.

Scrapbookers may want to make their bottlecap magnets with trendy chic paper from their ephemera collection.

Crafters may want to sell their bottlecaps on crafting sites as an online business idea. Moms and teachers may want to do them as an easy kids craft!

    Yep, good job explaining how to make bottle cap magnets. I recently wrote a lens "Bottle Caps Crafts -- Making Art with Bottle Caps" where I showed some example of crafts I've made using old and new bottle caps.
