I started collecting Coke bottle caps to enter in points on MyCokeRewards.com, and planned to just throw them in the recycling bin after I did. Just as I was about to, I stopped to wonder if there was anything awesomely crafty that I could do with them. I am SO HAPPY that I didn’t throw ‘em out – I’ve been wanting to try working with resin for a long time, and these bottle caps make adorable gifts of all kinds! I have submitted my in-depth research below:

Fake Snake: Family Fun – although this isn’t specifically for Halloween, I feel that it deserves a spot in the Halloween section. Put him in a tree! Rar!

Bottle Cap Pumpkin Magnet: Family Crafts

Christmas Tutorials:

Inspiration, Ideas, and Photos:

Craftster has a huge thread on this – but it’s mostly repeating and asking questions over and over. I went through all 20-something pages and picked out only the tutorials and ideas, so you don’t have to!

I could go on FOREVER with these ideas and tutorials. Bottle caps appear to be very popular among crafting, and for a good reason! SO many things that you can do with all sorts of caps. I hope this has inspired you! It’s for SURE inspired me. So much so, that I don’t even know where to start! So many good ideas!!!

As always, I’ll post results when I do something!!! SO EXCITED! yay yay yay!

If you know of ANY other examples or tutorials, please comment below so I can add them to this list. Thanks!
