52 – Episode 2: How to Make Bottle Cap Necklaces with UTEE
Thanks for baring with me while I was out sick last week! I’m on the mend and ready to share this new crafty video with you. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you’ll give this fun craft a try. It’s quick, easy and can I just say fun again? FUN!
In this video, I use Clear UTEE, a Melt Art Melting Pot, Bottle Cap Hole Punch 1.8mm, a Bottle Cap Sticker Book and Bottle Caps.
I bought my bottle caps, ball chains and jump rings from several different craft stores. The exact sticker book that I used in the video came from Hobby Lobby. You don’t have to use that specific Bottle Cap Hole Punch. Just look for a metal hole punch that makes a 1.8mm hole. Here’s another option: Metal Hole Punch Pliers 1.8mm.
52 is on hiatus temporarily due to illness.

I learned how make these at Archiver’s last month. I bought most of the stuff to make them, but I bought some mod podge resin stuff instead of the melting pot and utee. I haven’t made one yet, but I need to! I also know that you can flatten the bottle caps fairly evenly by using a big shot in case you want a flatter version for cards or scrapbook pages. I also didn’t do stickers, but my 1″ punch and pretty paper. I think they are a totally fun crafty project!
Hi Jksmitley,
I love smashing bottlecaps in my embossing machines! That is so fun! The 1″ punch is a great way to make a really unique insert for your bottlecap. I’ve got some upcoming projects (that I really need to take the time to post…like NOW,lol) where I use a flattened bottlecap and a 1″ punch with some leftover paper from my stash. Wait. Duh! I also did that in yesterday’s video! Sometimes I can’t keep the projects straight. LOl! Here’s a link to that video: https://joyslife.com/52-episode-3/
I need a “I heart bottlecaps” shirt! 😉

Great project–I have made these with crystal lacquer but I like how you used the UTEE–now I have to get a melting pot!
Thank you, Sue! I know how that goes. I just had to have a melting pot and now I can’t stop buying different kinds of UTEE! LOL!
