Recycle crafters are always on the look out for projects to use up as many recyclables as possible, even the lowly plastic bottle cap. When you visualize creatively, the ideas arise. This is a guide about craft uses for plastic bottle caps.
Right now a "hot" trend in crafting and rubber stamping is to make rosettes for putting on a card or package. That consists of scoring and folding lightweight paper (like scrapbooking sheets), gluing and accessorizing. Use rubber-stamped numbers, images, or stickers. You make a flat fan and you need a round accent piece in the center of the flower.
A bottle cap could be used to anchor everything together whether plain or decorated. A rosette can also be used as an award. If you add 2 wide ribbon pieces behind, cut at an angle, it can resemble a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place award ribbon.

You can spray paint them orange and use a black permanent marker to add the "face."
These can become pins or checkers for a game, etc.
I have a ton of plastic Mountain Dew soda bottle caps I forgot to send in for their latest promotion. I've looked online, but I can't locate something I can do or make with these plastic caps.
