Alternate ways to find graphics for bottlecaps

[poshnpretty]

If you are tired of running to walgreens for printing sheets for your bottle caps, this is another alternative.
I collect home furnishing magazines and catalogues from online stores. Use your circle punch and cut the floral or patterns you find appealing.

Glue them to your bottlecap using e 6000 and seal with envirolite.

Do not touch your bottle cap for 36 hours(not minutes) and let it dry.

Note: Cheap quality papers will bleed or absorb the sealant.

I like ikea, pottery barn, ethan allen huladance

Do not use copyrighted patterns.

WOW, you made all of those from magazines. They look great!! I'm going to have to take a look at my magazines and see what I can find. Thanks for the tip!

[Pretty Beaded Things]

What a great idea. My mother is always giving me magazines and catalogues arrive at our doorstop by the truckload.

I will look at them in a different light now.

Thanks

wish I could do bottle caps, but yet I never gave them a try!

[tatortot]

Good job. It looks great. I love your work.

[TheCraftyMe]

Nice Idea. I really want to try bottle caps. Maybe one day. LOL

By the way.. How would you print bottlecap images at walgreens? Like how do you put images in little circles on a 4X6 picture?

[AprilTedder]

Wow. Great images. Thanks for tip. You rock, Vanitha

I use photoshop to cut the image after resizing to 1 inch.

Your bottlecaps look great! That is a wonderful and very inexpensive way to make bottlecaps.

What a great idea! I don't make bottlecaps but yours sure look chic.

[mom2girls]

thats great but everytime i try to make a bottlecap with something other than photopaper,, it just bleeds or gets really light... any ideaS?

[pinklemonadebowtique]

[3sweetpeas]

Very Creative! I haven't tried bottlecaps yet but am really wanting too! Where can I find the envirolite? Do they sell them at Wal Mart or only at craft stores?

[Chrissiemags]

the quality of the paper is very important. Some magazines use high grade paper to print and they never bleed.

i bought mine from michaels with the 50% coupon. If you do not have any coupon, ask the cashier , they always keep a spare coupon in the counter:girly:

This is a wonderful way to recycle!

[designsbycristi]

Wow what a great idea! I have had the same problem with bleeding if I use anything other than photo paper. I guess I will have to look for magazines that have a higher grade of paper. I'm definatley going to be keeping my eyes out! I am already a magazine thief lol - I take everyones left overs!
