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!
