Steps

This is a fun and simple craft that is perfect for craft enthusiasts of all ages. As always, adult supervision is required for this project.

Follow these steps: 

  1. Gather all materials and punch holes in your cardstock. Make sure the number of circles you have punched out matches the number of bottle caps you have.
  2. Get creative and draw a mouth, eyebrows, or other facial features onto each of your punched-out pieces of cardstock. 
  3. Glue on your googly eyes. You could also use just one eye to make your monster look even scarier!
  4. Next, glue your cardstock pieces onto the inside of your bottle caps. Let everything dry.
  5. Use your wire, pipe cleaners, etc. to add other features or hair to your monster. Glue your pieces into place on the back of the bottle caps and let them sit.
  6. With everything else dry, you can now glue your magnets onto the back of your caps. 
  7. Once the magnets have dried, hang up your monsters throughout your home. They also make great party favors for your Halloween party!
