...bottle caps that is. I love running bottle caps through a die cut machine - love that crunch and what that crunch produces.
This weekend I discovered the round chipboard pieces from October Afternoon's Chip 'n Stick's, combined with bottle caps and a die cut machine make some pretty cute embellishments!
Bottle Cap Ink products are all made in the U.S.A. I simply shoved the one-inch chipboard, mock button circle into the bottle cap and ran it through a die cut machine (we'll call this 'pressed'). These were the results:
This was the journey: far left - just inserted and pressed. On #2 I tied some ribbon through the holes before I inserted the chipboard piece & pressed. On #3 I got smart: ran it thorough then (re)punched the holes using a Crop-a-dile. #4 is the same as #3, only with ribbon tied after the (metal) holes were (re)punched. #4 is my favorite.
I like this look too, of using a finer thread and a small vintage mother-of-pearl button (etsy-grlyhead).
This embellishment was used on a 5 & Dime Mini Tag Album created this weekend.
Used on a card. Love this kitty.
