I was really inspired by the bottle cap pins I saw on here. I just loved the idea of making something cute out of what is normally garbage. So I saved my Ale-8 tops and made a few of the pins. I did have a hard time getting them flat, I had to use needle nose pliers to start them out. Then I sent them through my big shot (more than once) to get them good and flat. After that I stamped an image in stazon ink and colored it in with regular markers. Once done with that I punched it out with a circle punch that was a little smaller than the bottle top and glued them together. Then I covered it with the glassy glaze stuff from stamin up, let that dry completely before sticking the pin backing to it.
