I have a glass jar beneath my bottle opener that I let my beer bottle caps fall into. I figured they would make a pretty cool folk-art project sometime, because I drink a lot of varity... but so far I haven't thought up anything to make. If anybody has any awesome suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

Maybe a mosaic table or picture frame(s)?

dude i just noticed you spelled bootle instead of bottle

If you happen to have hot glue, you could skip this part and just glue the pin to thee cap. Thought about  give it a try :D

I just tried making one of these, but I had to bend the safety pin in addition to bending the pull tab. If I bent the pull tab much more, it wouldn't be under the edges of the bottle cap. Next time, I'll drink a soda with a bigger pull tab and try again. :)
