Bottle Cap Necklaces are the hottest little trend going. They are great for all ages!
You will be the bestest mom in the world when you pack your party bags with these really cool
necklaces. You can find the supplies in most craft stores.
(Wrapping paper, scrapbook paper, or stickers also make for great images in the caps).

Today I am making wine glass charms. First thing you need to do is get all of your material together.
 |
Your print, your
bottle caps (oops, not shown), hole punch, scissors, Mod Podge,
your resin of choice (I prefer Ice Resin), and most importantly, WAX PAPER! Oh… and a flat cookie sheet to lay your
wax paper on for a safe way to move your work in progress! |
 |
After you have
punched out your prints; lay them on the wax paper and coat
generously with the Mod Podge – Be sure to flip over when the top is dry and coat the back as well. |
If you
don’t do that….. This is what you will end up with!

Heart breaking, for
sure! This is what I keep on hand to remind me to not omit a step!
Yes, I had 24 of them staring at me the next
morning!
|
Your images are drying
nicely so now is a good time to mix up your resin.
 |
You must be careful
to mix equal amounts of part A and part B mixtures. Otherwise you
will end up with a hot mess! |
 |
Carefully pour part B into part A.
(Mixing very gently because you want to make sure you have no bubbles.)
Stir gently for 2 minutes. Did I mention that you need to do it gently? 🙂
Allow to sit
 |
While you are letting it sit for about 5 minutes, now is a good time to add Mod Podge to your bottle caps.
(doing a few at a time)
|
Add your images while
the Mod Podge is still tacky. It makes for a great glue!
Now you are ready to proceed. Still working on the wax paper, take your resin and using a Popsicle stick, (yes, it’s very technical stuff!) gently lay it on the image so that it flows into the cap. Be careful to not overfill. Makes for a messy cap!
 |
 |
After you are finished filling they need to sit for 24 hours.
It is a good idea to cover your caps with another cookie sheet so that you won’t get dust on the wet resin. (unless that is the look you are going for!)
After 24 hours you can move them to another spot, if necessary, to finish curing.
After 72 hours you are done! Add your necklace and pat yourself on the back for a job well done!
I would like to thank Sam for having me here and I give props to my 4 year old for taking the pictures. I think she did a fine job!!
If you would like to bypass all the steps and just order them directly from me, I’d be pleased and honored to serve you! I have tons of images for just about any party theme you can come up with! Come check me out at:

Are the bottle caps you’re using just regular bottle caps like from glass coke bottles or beer bottles?
How do you get your bottle caps so smooth?
what do you mean?
Very well done tutorial! You left no room for questions, as far as I can tell. Anxious to give this a try. TFS!
This looks like fun. Thanks for making it look so easy!
