Pretty Bottle Caps

Twist metal bottle caps, quite annoying little things I find. I've discovered online today, that placing loose metal bottle caps into the recycling bin probably isn't the best thing to do. Steel metal caps can indeed be recycled, but, loose bottle tops are actually too small to go through sorting machines. Best thing to do, is to put them inside a metal can before they reach the recycle bin, so the whole lot can be melted down and recycled.

I digress, this photograph is not in relation to the above process.

It appears there are ways to 'upcycle' metal bottle caps into something pretty. Last week, I received a pair of 'Pretty Caps' for review on my blog. Laura, from Montreal in Canada, collects metal caps from around the world, and beautifies them into jewellery pieces.

This pair of Pretty Caps are clip-on earrings, made with metal bottle caps originally from Eastern Europe, adorned with tiny sea shells, and a clip-on attachment glued to the back.
