Description:

I have been away from Swap-bot for a few months now and I want to get back in the swing of things! So I wanted to host a swap involving something I have been wanting to do for a long time... and use up some of my bottle caps I've been saving!

For this swap you will create 4 sets equaling a total of 16 bottle caps. This will end up being a complete set (series) of 4 themes. You will have 4 partners in each swap.

Use pop or beer bottle metal caps (recycled ones are the best). Please use stickers sparingly. Do not slap a round sticker on it and call it a collectible! Put effort into it... embellish, add to it, put the Wow factor or the "That's cool" factor in it!

Paint, embellish but minimally modify the cap. Be sure when you're done with it, it can be recognized as once a bottle cap!

Here is the them for each set of bottle caps...

Series 1: Decorate the cap using your interpretation of time.

Time

Series 2: Decorate the cap using your interpretation of birds.

Birds

Series 3: Decorate the cap using your interpretation of vintage.

Series 4: Decorate the cap using your interpretation of flowers.

Please place your 4 caps on a sturdy card for sending. At the end of this series you will have 16 bottle caps worth collecting!

If you have any suggestions on how to better host this swap... I'm all ears!! I think it will be a lot of fun if I can just nail the details down! Thanks!

i have a question. Are we to decorate the inside, or the outside of the cap? or both? where is the focal point?

Please decorate the inside of the cap. I found that it works much better to insert your design so as to have a "frame" rather than on the outside. Play around with it and see which way you feel more comfortable with.
