How To: Use Bottle Caps For Hair Bows By Just Add A Bow

Everyone today, I'm going to show you how what I use to make bottle caps. I'Ve been getting quite a few twists on how I put the bottle caps together, and I these are the two that I usually buy. I usually like this kind of bottle caps, which I get are Hobby Lobby they're flat, they're almost flat. I really like these and then you also have the typical bottle cap. Excuse me, if you hear my dog barking, which is just looks like a regular okay, and on these, you can put the image either on the outside right here or on the inside right in here. I usually put it on the inside, but I suppose me somewhere like this, the flat one, so I get both of these at Hobby Lobby. The brand name is spare parts, I'm not sure this was ten dollars, but I think at the time there were fifty percent off and you're. Also gon na need epoxy stickers. You can use epoxy stickers or you can use this. I usually use this only if I'm gon na be putting it on the outside. I put I'll glue the image to the outside right here and then I'll paint this triple thick over the top to make it shiny. That'S what I usually do, but usually with like. If I'm putting it on the flat one or if I'm putting it on the inside of the bottle cap, I use a one of these stickers. You'Re also gon na need one of these. It'S a one-inch hole, punch type of thing. I got a Hobby Lobby also, it's the brand is the paper studio and it came with a little plastic piece here, but I took it off it's just much easier for me. It'S supposed to be there, so I can catch the paper, but I usually punch it. This way, so I can see it so you're also gon na be one of these and you're. Also gon na need 1-inch images. You can buy these for very cheap, like on Etsy or on eBay. Usually it's like a like a dollar or two dollars per sheet and you can make as many copies as you want, like you, save it to your hard drive, a computer they'll, send it to you like through an email and then or they'll, send it to you. I don't remember how they sent it to me, but you can print it out and you can make as many copies as you want. You just save it to your computer yeah. Let me show you how I put it all together. So first thing you're gon na do oh you're. Also gon na need Elmer's glue. This is very old glue. One of my mom's students a long time ago so you're also gon na need Elmer's glue. So what I usually do is I'll take whatever image they don't want, and I'll put it through like this and I'll make sure that it's right in the center. We have your image, it's a little one-inch circle and I'm gon na show you how I put it on the flat piece first. So I'm just gon na take a dab of Elmer's glue, just a little dot, not too much, maybe like about that much then I'm gon na spread it around my finger and try to make it thin of a layer as I can. You don't want it thick, because they'll take so much longer to dry, very thin layer. Then you just want to place the picture inside and kind of gently press it down. I don't know if you guys can see. I'M sorry you get it like this and you just wait until the Omer glue is dry, which usually takes a couple minutes or so, and you could also do the same thing to this one. You just do it on the inside the same thing just a little tighter you dab of Elmer's glue and you spread it around. Then you stick the image on the inside of this of the regular sized bottle cap, but also I'm gon na show you how to do it on the outside. What I usually do so on the outside I'll do the same thing. I just put a little dot. O first, let me get the image sorry, so I'm just gon na take this and punch another image out and I'm gon na add a dot of glue, go to the outside sorry so glue to the outside. Just a tiny dot not too much just like that and spread it around, and you want to stick it on it's close to the middle as you can so it looks like that and you're also gon na wait for this one to dry as well and on This one, since I put it on the outside of the bottle cap, I'm gon na be using the triple pick to paint a layer all right with that. You need a paintbrush, and, after you paint after you use, paint the glue on always wash your paintbrushes with soap and water. Even if I mean all painters know this, like I've always learned it in all. My art classes that, as soon as you're done with your paint, brushes always go and wash them with soap and water, because paint or anything that you use for the paint brushes with usually will leave an acid on it, which will make your bristles very hard and They won't be soft and flexible anymore, which is what usually happens to most paint brushes if you just rinse it with water, I always wash it with soap and water to get all that to make sure to get all the the oil in the the acid or Whatever that that paint has in it to get it out, I did the same thing when I use this keeps your brushes nice. This one is probably already dry. I usually will wait, maybe like forever ten minutes, but for the sake of the video, I'm just going to show you what to do next with the flat one stickers stickers come on sheets like this, and you peel it off, but be careful not to touch the Sticky part - and you just place it inside here and you press it down, just press it down all the way around, and I gives it that little bubble effect and that one's done and you can just use it like the back is flat. So you can just get a blow a bow. Let me just grab a bow. Okay, so just use this one, this one, I actually put a knot in the middle, but just pretend like there's, no, not in the middle. You just glue it right to the middle of the bow like that. So like a finished bow just like that, you'd add a dab of hot glue and you just stick it on and that's how I usually make the flat ones now. Let me show you how I finished the other ones this. This will be the same way if you're gon na put it on the inside of the regular bottle cap. You just put the epoxy sticker music. I'M gon na show you how I paint on the outside. So I'm gon na get the triple thick. I got this triple thick at Michaels. I think, because of it Michaels it was like 10 bucks, but it lasts a long time forever. 10 bucks. I can't remember kind of like Elmer's glue in a way, but it's it dries. It comes the joys, clear, mm-hmm and shiny, so just get a big gob of it, and I usually just as soon as this Joey I just painted on and sometimes they'll even also paint on a second coat just to make it extra thick. That'S basically what I do just paint it on it. Sometimes we'll get another coat, but whatever you choose, whatever you think looks best for your model cuts. You can also stick one of the stickers, the epoxy stickers right here to the outside of it, but I've experienced that if I do that the sticker sometimes falls off or the kids can easily pull it off, and this usually, I usually wait at least twelve ten To twelve hours for it to dry before I put it on any any boat yeah, that's basically, oh, and also, let me tell you how you would put this on a boat. What I usually do when I make bottle caps like this, where the inside it would just you know, a deep. You can't really just glue it onto a boat, because the glue won't really reach in here. So what I usually do like like this boat, I make a knot like that and I put glue on the end of the night and that way, when I glue the bow down, the knot is touching all the way into the bottle cap and then it's glued On that's what I usually do, but you can do whatever works best for you.
