Hey everyone so I had some bottles that I was about to take to recycling, and I realized
that I could use the caps to make Christmas tree ornaments. So I'm going to show you how I do that.
The first thing I'm going to do is take this felt, and I'm going to cut a circle in it. And that's going to be the back of the ornament.
If you don't have felt, you can also use construction paper.
You can even use wrapping paper. And then for the front, I'm going to use this image I took of my cat Ashley.
You can personalize the ornament any way you want.
So you can use any sort of photo. You can even use a sticker. Whatever you want.
I'm going to trace around the bottle cap, and then I'm going to cut out the circle.
And now I'm going to do the same thing with the photo.
Now I'm just going to take the glue, and I'm going to glue the back of the bottle cap.
And I'm going to glue the felt onto the back of the bottle cap.
And don't worry if the edges stick out over the
edge of the bottle cap just because we're going to put ribbon on there
and then you're not even going to notice, so it's fine.
And then for the front, I'm just going to take the image of Ashley and I'm just going to stick it in there.
Like that.
Now we're going to add ribbon around the rim of the bottle cap.
So you just want to make sure that the piece is really long
because it makes it easier when we're knotting it.
I'm just going to kind of position this onto the edge.
Now I'm just going to make a knot at the top
and cut off the edges.
Now I'm just going to take these glitter glue pens and anywhere that I see
the plastic of the bottle cap showing through, I'm going to cover that with the glitter.
So I'm going to start by making a red circle around the inside of the ornament.
Now I'm going to take this silver glitter and I'm going to do the same thing.
There's still some plastic showing through, so I'm just going to cover that up.
So now it's finished, and this is what it looks like. Here's the front,
side and the back.
And just to give you some more ideas, here's some other ones that I made.
This one has candy canes on the back. I used that glitter pen to make the candy canes.
And it has Ashley on the front.
And this one has
a silver background instead of a black felt background.
And this one is just
red and black.
And this is the one I just made. So thanks so much for watching everyone, and have a
great holiday.
