Chuck and I took the kids out driving today, looking for yard sales. We only found a few, but we stopped at some thrift shops, and look what the lady GAVE me, for free!
A box of vintage bottle caps. A BIG box of bottle caps, and when the lady said free, I just got all giddy. Chuck thought I was nuts, but then, that's why he married me. hahaha
Now, what to do with all these caps???
Look what I found on Pinterest and Google search!
How about a mosaic? How cool is this Sammy Davis Jr?
Maybe I should re-do my bathroom floor?
I love this wind chime.
And since I've been on a handbag kick lately, how about this purse?
What do you think? Do you have any ideas? I would love to hear them.
Be blessed,
Debbi

Wow - what a great score! I've never done anything with bottle caps yet, so I look forward to seeing what you do with yours.
Craft away! I spent the morning in the heat, doing yard work. I would have rather done the yard selling tour.

thanks Keisha...neither did I. Hubby said no to the bathroom floor idea, lol.
I'm going to make a wind chime, and try some jewelry, after I sort them, then figure out how to clean them, and poke holes in them. I'll post after I'm finished.

Whatever you do with these awesome vintage bottle caps, it's gonna be great! I like the windchime and the handbag. You could also make some pretty cool mosaic coasters, and that would be fun too. Can't wait to see what you decide!

You could put them on a terra cotta pot for a bottle cap mosaic, or, a picture frame! How much fun!
LOVE the floor! do it! nice freebie
