Jewelry - Necklace - Upcycle bottle caps- kid friendly

Summer is a few weeks away and more drinks will be consumed with a plastic cap. We all know we should stop purchasing plastic water bottles but many are still purchased. So, recycle the bottles and "upcycle" the caps by making cap jewelry!

Bottle Cap Jewelry

Supplies:

ribbon

jewelry bails

jewelry jump rings

plastic cap

Elmer's glue

food coloring (I used Neon Food Coloring colors)

ice pick

jewelry pliers

Fill a plastic cap with Elmer's glue. Then add a drop of food coloring and mix with a toothpick. Let dry for at least three days. When dry use an ice pick to poke a hole at the top of the cap. Then use your jewelry pliers to open the jump ring. Insert into hole and add the bail. Use your pliers to close the jump ring. Cut ribbon to desired length.
