Steps

This craft is a lot of fun and you can even create a set of caps with a series of themed sayings or names. We recommend that adults or older kids/teens conduct this experiment. As always, adult supervision is required due to the use of small magnets and other materials. 

 

Follow these steps to create this fun craft:

 

  1. Gather all materials
  2. If your caps have a liner inside them, remove it with tweezers.
  3. Put on safety gloves. Pour resin and hardener into a plastic cup and mix it. Have some paper towels nearby to clean up any potential spills.
  4. Fill your bottle cap about halfway with the resin mixture. Let it sit for a few minutes.
  5. Add in your letters and spell out your name or message. Place your colored spheres around the letters to add some flash to the craft! 
  6. Put more resin on top of the spheres and letters for a smooth finish. If a little resin settles above the rim of the cap, that is okay! You can also wipe away any excess resin if you would like. 
  7. Once everything inside the cap has dried, simply flip over the bottle cap and glue a magnet to the back. Let it dry.
  8. Hang up your colorful crafts throughout the house or give them as a fun gift!
