I have started making my own. Wallpapers are a good way to find images and also search www.photobucket.com. You can also join a yahoo group "craftgraphics" or other group to help you and share information.
Good luck

I find mine on Google Images as well, by only searching for large or extra-large images. Have you seen the free ones on youcanmakethis.com?? They are at http://youcanmakethis.com/info/featured-products/Free-Collage-of-Bottle-Cap-Images.htm, and they are really cute!

HEather
the easiest way for me to do it was using my scrapbook program i have and
saving them to my computer with the highest res. and sending them to walgreens for printing they came out good. i did 3 across 5 down for a 4x6 print. they only thing with printing them at walgreens you would either still have to run them thriugh a sticker machine or just use a little elmers glue to stick to a bottle cap.... thats what i was told I haven't made any bottle caps of my own yet due to i heard there are strong fumes involved and i'm preggos but have printed images....:)

I get my images either from google or I also belong to the craftgraphics group on yahoo. I print them myself using a kodak photo printer, run them through a xyron sticker maker and stick them to the caps. The only thing you might get fumes from is whatever you use as a glaze, (don't know much about that I have only used paper glaze so far and no fumes) or what ever glue you use to attach it to your bow etc.

I would love to try to make some. Where do you buy the bottle caps?

I buy my bottlecaps from a home brewing company. I don't have a name cause I am at work, so no bookmarks. If you search home brewery supplies you should be able to find something. I just priced most of them and went with the best price.

Weird, when I got to the website, there are no items listed anymore under any of the categories.

Hmm, that is odd! I'm glad I saved the page as HTML.
If you give me a few minutes, I might be able to dig up another place I know of. My computer ate a bunch of my favorites and those were lost :(
