My little sister had been collecting bottle caps for a while, telling me she had an idea she dreamed of trying. 😄 At first, I had no idea what she could do with these simple caps, but when I saw the result, I was shocked by her creativity! 🤯✨
Check out what she made from these caps and let me know what you think in the comments! 👇👇👇
A Beautiful Basket Made from Bottle Caps
She created a truly beautiful basket using nothing but bottle caps!
How Did She Do It?
1️⃣ Gathering the Materials
She started by collecting bottle caps, sorting them by color to create a uniform look.
2️⃣ Creating the Base
To build a solid foundation, she used sturdy cardboard and hot glue. She placed a plastic basket upside down on the cardboard, traced its bottom, and cut out the shape. This served as the base of her new basket.
3️⃣ Building the Structure
Next, she began gluing the caps onto the base in a spiral pattern. To keep the design uniform, she placed the caps tightly together.
4️⃣ Final Touches
Once the structure was complete, she carefully removed the plastic basket, leaving behind a stunning handmade basket crafted entirely from bottle caps.
Customizing Your Own Basket
To create a woven effect, you can mix caps of different sizes.
You can also add decorative elements or paint the caps to match your style.
So, next time before throwing away bottle caps, think twice! They might just be perfect for your next creative project.
