Upcycling Bottle caps




All the bottle caps I have used so far has been unused new ones. One of my co-workers heard I was making stuff with bottlecaps and she bought me a bagful of beer bottle caps. I kept them in a box for awhile and then just found them while cleaning the closet. So I decided to try and make little christmas ornaments. I glued them together and painted and put varnish and sealed a photo of the kids. I think the next one I do I will have more dangly things to spruce it up. But it was so fun doing this I think friends and family you are all getting these ornaments this year!!!! maybe I should call them Tree-Caps or something. Hmmmm maybe I can draw on them as well.....ok my mind is going a mile a minute!!!...Let me put up some pictures first!! what do you think?

I seem to have hit a wall...I am not sure where to go next with jubilantwares. I love the buttons and bottle caps but I am not selling much. I am not sure what I should do next. I did manage to do a photo pendant and am currently working on the bottle cap bracelet. I need some inspiration and advice as to how to push along.

Packaging

I am trying to figure out the best way to package the bottlecap pendants. I did some in cardstock favor boxes and some in favor tins. Still can't decide. I am so bumed that there is not much traffic to the etsy store. I was hoping at least to double my sales by the end of the year but nothing so far and the year end taxes and fees are looming!!!!!

Just finished a custom order they asked for 40 unpainted bottlecaps for a band named Epicah. So we created the graphics and made the caps now all we need to do is to think up a creative packaging and then hopefully we get more traffic to the Etsy store.

Initial Letter Bottlecap pendants


I participated in an elementary school harvest festival today and my bottle caps seemed to be popular. It is kind of hard when little kids come around touch the caps and "ooh and ahhh " and when I tell them the price they say they don't have that. I think for all the labor that I put into the cap $10 seems like a worthy price. What do you think?
