JIMT Idea: Bottle Caps
One Christmas when I was a student at Texas A&M I was trying to figure out what to give my friends as gifts. Being a poor college student I had to come up with something inexpensive so I ventured upon a DIY project that involved materials I had access to, while also being appropriate for my comprades. The result was a picture frame with beer bottle caps glued to the frame. This is a true story… I can remember hanging out at a little burger & beer place during the entire Christmas break eating fries, drinking cold ones, listening to the juke box & collecting bottle caps. Ahhh, the good ol’ days.

I’ve included a few examples of what the ingenious types in the world of UPCYCLED ART are creating with bottle caps.
