Before I show you pictures of the pretty awesome craft I did yesterday I have to share a huge milestone for me. Most of you know that I am NOT a fan of running at all. I decided yesterday I was just going to suck it up and run. I ran 1.5 miles without stopping or passing out haha. I was really proud of myself and plan on bumping it up everyday.
Ok now onto my craft, I made bottle cap coasters. Kyle had 18 of them laying around upstairs in his man cave so I put them to good use. Armed with a mold, some resin and bottle caps here is what I made:
Waiting for it to cure
After 2 hours this is the final product! I opted to not use clear resin because I figured they would look better darker to go in Kyle's man cave. I am so happy with them and Kyle loves them. The last touch was to get the little plastic bumpers for the bottom. I just need 18 more bottle caps to make 2 more.
I hope you all have a great Sunday and a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
those are cute!
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea... wish I would have saved my Woodchuck caps!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! We never use coasters anymore. Not sure when it became a non issue now that I think of it...ha
ReplyDeleteGood job!
So crafty you are! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove those coasters, they are perfect for a man cave. I might copy those and make a couple for my Dad'S birthday. Not so good for the hubby, he doesn't allow drinks in his man cave due to multi-thousand dollar instruments :-)
ReplyDeleteYou should!!! :) They were really easy and fun to make.
DeleteI'm sure your husband will be happy to do his part. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyone else have the Dos Equis commercial going on in their head? :)
Nice job on the coasters!
That looks great! :) I am sure that 18 caps won´t take that long to collect! :D
ReplyDeleteWell tell him to get poppin some bottles! Lol.
ReplyDeleteI like that a lot! We want to do a little man cave/ office craft room with our 3rd bedroom and that seems right up Paul's alley. He'd be more then happy to drink a lot of beer for a craft ;)
OMG I LOVE those!!!! I am stealing this idea like you wouldn't even believe!!!

Congrats on the running! I always felt so accomplished when I saw the mileage "behind" me.
ReplyDeleteI love those coasters. Where'd you get the mold (and the resin for that matter)?
What a great weekend you've had! I felt like a boss just WALKING the same distance you did, ha! :) And great job on the coasters. Those kinds of projects still intimidate my lack of craftiness.
ReplyDeleteHow fun is that?! Great for St. Patty's beer fest!

That is sooo cute! A family friend of ours did his whole bar like that and it looked similar. Such a cool thing to do!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out wonderfully. After I get settled at my next place I'll have to make some for my husband's brothers.
ReplyDeleteLove these! such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on running!! And your bottle cap coaster looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the running! I hate running too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 1.5 miles! That is awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the craft, turned out great!
Yea for the run! My husband and kids love to run...
ReplyDeletethe coasters...wow. perfect for a man cave!!!
Thanks! :) I felt pretty good about the run. I had a blast making the coasters, so many fun things you can do with resin. :)
DeleteI love these. What a cool craft. I have so many crafts I want to do. I need to get crackin'
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat craft!! I wish I had more time to craft!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun and surprisingly didn't take a lot of effort or time. :)
DeleteThat's so awesome! I think I'm going to start saving bottle caps from my husband. Great idea! Happy St. Patricks Day! :)
ReplyDeleteI love them! They are PERFECT for a man cave! And way to go on the running! You are awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea. I know Andy would love them once he gets his man cave.
ReplyDeleteI love it, Jen! What a great idea. My daughter has been collecting bottle caps this year. She has some beauties. I would like to do something like this sometime.
ReplyDelete:) Hope
Oh, and great job on the running. I am beginning to think I should stick to walking. I am a natural at that. (Who isn't? Right?)
go you on the running...that's awesome!!! and i love those coasters...love, love, love!!!
ReplyDeleteCute!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome!!!
ReplyDeletetoo cute! crafting with bottle caps is really neat! Hubs sends me pics of windchimes he wants made out of the hundreds of caps he has collected and my youngest and I have made pins to pin on his book bag from rootbeer ones! Way to go on running! It takes some serious dedication when you first start out, I know you've got in you!!! Keep it up chicka! Excited for you :)
