I collect Coke plastic bottle caps for the Coke Rewards program. After entering the codes, I then have lots and lots of plastic bottle caps. Is there anything useful I can do with them?

If you have a problem with animals getting in your garden maybe you could spread them around. I don't think animals would like walking over something like that.
If you use watercolor paints, you can use the lids for putting watercolors in to take along with you. Place in an empty Altoid can or any metal can that closes well.
An old preschool trick. If you have different colored caps, make spare checkers with them. Red for one team (Coke) and green (Sprite) for the other. You could even use small stickers on the inside or out for when a checker is "kinged" and turned over. These are easy for small hands (or older, arthritic hands, too) to pick up and you don't care if one gets lost! You can use caps off milk jugs, too. These are great for car trips with a checkerboard/backgammon board made of a sheet of paper or large print checked fabric. Velcro the edges for a self-contained carrier, even.
we use them for checker pieces and sometimes use a pizza box for a checkerboard
If you have friends that sew, you can make mini pincushions as nice little gifts:
The link to the pin cushion is not a good link it say nothing found here.
Unfortunately, that feedback was posted in 2007 and the site is no longer operating. I deleted the link but left the idea.
What will i do with coke bottle caps? Make a necklace and wear it!
You know those business card size fridge magnets we are always getting for free? Take some of those type magnets - our town gives big ones with the whole years recycling schedule on it - and draw around a cap to make as many as you need to glue them to the back of them.
RE:What to do with coke bottle caps.
Cut out a Christmas tree shape from card board.Approx 12" high
Cut out circles of Christmas print material scraps big enough to cover caps.
Using needle & thread make running stitch around circle,secure at back of cap. Poke in ends.
Then with craft glue stick all onto tree shape to cover.
Hang up & kids will love it.
they work good for seniors in the nursing home to play bingo, instead of the small bingo chips, easy to hang on to.
Christmas Tree Ornament/Kid's Craft Project.
My daughter's 3rd grade teacher did this as a craft project: Hot glue caps together in any shape really ( she made a circle like pattern: 3 caps across the 1st row, 4 the 2nd, then 5, then 4, then 3). Glue glittery craft pom-poms in each of the "holes" of the cap. Hot glue ribbon to the top, and use as a tree ornament. They look cuter than it sounds!
Put 50 of them in a recycled plastic jar (maybe from licorce or the pretzels in a jar) Give it to a local 1st grade teacher. Children need visuals to learn counting, adding and subtracting.
Make a square piece of cloth or felt maybe 6x6 can be larger, cut 4 pieces of zig zag trim the length ot the fabric you've cut, with this make a tic tac toe lay out- by gluing the trim (lines) onto the fabric. Now gather those bottle caps for a game of tic tac toe. The color of the caps determines the team.

I live in the UK and found the Coke bottle top fits the trigger spray bottles (sanitiser and shower spray) perfectly. I simply take off the trigger spray and replace with coke top reducing the height of the bottle for easier storage.
make a hole on each side and string on fish line. use to decorate outdoor trees, bushes or fences for the holidays.
hot glue in a grid to make different shapes for pre-schoolers learning their shapes.
glue to a backer board in the shape of a xmas tree/heart/pumpkin. from the back makes holes and insert mini lights.
pre-schoolers like to use them as blocks and build simple things with them.
make a hole in the top and using a straw/dowl between 2 make wheels for small toys
They fit perfectly on 40ml plastic test tubes, and are easy to write on with a sharpie.
