Quick and Easy Bottle Cap Magnets
After months of collecting bottle caps I now have a different kind of hundreds and thousands. Originally I was going to use them to try to make a bag but couldn't find a proper drill bit that was small enough. I found my old crappy-looking magnets and thought I'd up-cycle them. This is the first of many DIY tutorials. I like experimenting and trying out new things. I guess these tutorials will help me reflect on them so hopefully I can make them better!
These are the old magnets
I started by pulling out the magnets slowly with tweezers
Make sure you divide the force around the entire magnet and not just one part, the magnet may chip
Do so for all the magnets you want to use
Remove the old glue mold
And use regular glue or glue drops (I used glue drops) and stick if firmly onto the back of a bottle cap
Its done!

Expansion
So I am back to blogging. And like usual I think I am just going to go with the flow. Expanded my blog by adding a photography page and my youtube link to view my stop motions. Still working on the youtube thing, I don't have plenty of time. Its a bit of a working process.
