DIY Bottle Cap Necklace!

So what did I do on Valentines Day?

Nothing of interest. I went to Michael's Art Store to buy some materials for my Israeli Dance Crew to make costumes, and some supplies for my newest DIY (My skirt is currently on hold for the summer, I don't have a sewing machine so it's a huge job.) Anyways this post is about a Bottle Cap Necklace that I made last night.

It was a ton of work. I've been saving these Stewart's Bottle Caps (why did I just capitalize that?) since the summer, waiting to do something cool with them. I'm sad to say what actually inspired me was a cheesy Disney Movie, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, where LiLo has a necklace similar to this:

But I digress. So the first thing I had to do was poke a hole in each of the five bottle caps--not easily done, considering the only tools I had were a non-power screw-driver and a staple-remover...but I got it done. Then there was a lot of wire cutting, and twisted, but I won't bore you with each tiny detail. 

Anyways, the finished product?




Yeupp. I don't have a picture of myself wearing it because I need to find a special chain where there is a place to hook in the top three bottle caps so they don't all slouch to the middle!

Some artistic shots? Haha:




And this is totally random, but my sister bought this online from the Forever 21 Store and I am INSANELY jealous!



I'm sorry it's so blurry, but my sister is kinda of impatient

It's awesome though! Happy Year of the Tiger!!


EDIT: ♥ 熊貓GIRL ♥ (PANDA GIRL) HAS GIVEN ME THIS LOVELY AWARD



THANK YOUUUU ^_^

And so I nominate.....


I don't really know how many Blog's I was supposed to nominate, but what the heck!


I also made my own FormSpring account, which is silly considering all the work I have. But if you're bored and you want to anonymously harass me, I guess you could go ahead? Just be nice! ^_^
