Our First Official DIY Project-BottleCap Favors!

Jeffrey works at an up and coming company known as Bottle Cap Co.
Check them out! They gobs and gobs of supplies for tons of different projects!
      It only seemed right to factor our connection to such a great company into our wedding, so here I present our bottle cap favors! 
      We decided to create our own images to be placed inside but they also sell many designs! Even editable versions that you can customize yourself!


What You'll Need:
1" circle punch
1" circle images
Craft bottle Caps
Adhesive (we recommend E6000)
Small circular magnets
1" Epoxy Dots
All of this is available in one convenient place at their website! Some items, such as the 1" hole punch, can be found cheaper elsewhere but don't sacrifice too much quality. Especially when it comes to the epoxy dots and magnets. Poor quality of either will result in a really sad looking bottle cap that won't hold up anything on the fridge. 


First begin by gluing a magnet to the back of each bottle cap. 
While this is drying you can move onto cutting out all of your images with the 1" hole punch. (Fiskars sells a good one, and its easy to use design will make everything much easier.) 
Place a very small dab of adhesive on the inside of the bottle cap and center your image. 
Then center an epoxy dot on top of that. 


When it is all dry, you have yourself a customized magnet! 
We can't wait for our guests to receive these crafty creations!
