Bottle Cap Necklaces and Magnets

HI! I'm going to show you how to make a bottle cap into a pretty necklace or magnet.  These are relatively simple and easy to make.  It's also a great way to recycle bottle caps.  I get complements on mine all of the time. 

Step 1 What you need

What you need kind of depends on what you are making, a necklace or magnet. 
1. Bottle caps (surprise, surprise)
2. tiny pics, glitter, or what ever you want to put inside
3. glue
4. some sort of resin of whatever to put inside of the cap, diamond glaze works great!
5. rubber gloves
6.  stirring stick (my directions said i need ed 2 that made no sense)
7.  2 plastic cups (it would be smart to get them w/ the little measuring things)
8.  (if your cups don't have measuring things) something you could measure your resin in ( i used a milk cap)
9.  If your making a necklace you will need:
       A.ball chain or some sort of string or something to put your cap on
       B. some sort of clasp depending on what it's hanging on
       C. jump rings (the little rings that connect the cap to what its hanging on)
       D. pliers to do all that stuff with
10. If you are making a magnet you will need:
       A. a magnet to glue on the back
       B. a hot glue gun(with all of the sticks and stuff)

instead of resin you should use poly urythene in their its cheaper and safer

I think poly might make it yellowish.

i actually bought a necklace just like one of these but it had the 7up logo in it(: they hammered it so it was flat instead of having the edges poking up, its one of my favorite necklaces(:
