DIY: Personalized Bottle Cap Magnets

Here is a nice little craft that is easy enough to do with your kiddos, yet makes a very special gift for any occasion!  We actually learned this one from my niece Meg, who made them for my cousins baby shower.  Thanks Meg, for the great idea!!  

My daughter Morgan is actually the one who did most of the work.  She wanted to make these for my friend Kristy who just had her beautiful baby boy, Hudson!  

Here is what you will need:

• Bottle Caps ~ enough for each letter of the word you wan to say
• Spray paint
• Letters cut out from magazines or scrapbooking supplies
• Mod Podge
• Magnets
• Hot Glue

First, you are going to spray paint your magnets the desired color.  

Then, you can cut letters out from magazines {this is what my niece did but we couldn't quite find ones we liked} or use letter stickers.  We found these cute black and white ones at Michaels and they were perfect for my friend!  

If you are using cut out letters, you will need to use Mod Podge to seal them and attatch them to the bottle caps.  Mine were stickers, but I actually did end up using Mod Podge to be sure they stayed put!  I didn't go over mine with Mod Podge just because they were 3-D and felt it would get too messy!

Lastly, use a hot glue gun to clue the magnets to the back of the bottle caps!  Voila! 

Easy Peasy!!  And oh so cute!  We found perfect little jewelry boxes at Michaels to put the magnets in.  They were a hit at the baby shower!  {and so inexpensive to make!!}  I will definitely be making some "CLARK" magnets!!  And, if there are any baby showers I'm heading too... you know your present now!!
