Are you a savvy crafter? Are you interested in crafting to keep the earth green and clean? Do you have bottle caps on your counter or in your craft stash? It's time to craft with them and make something unique but useful!

First, you'll need to gather your supplies: DIY craft bottles tops (of course!), glue and paint brush (I used Modge Podge and a disposable paint brush), glitter (I love Martha Stewart glitter!), Diamond Glaze, glitter glue, permanent glue and small round magnets (optional).

Let's get started! Follow the steps below and you'll love the results!

1. Apply a generous coat of glue to the inside of the bottle cap.

2. Sprinkle a layer of your glitter into the top and shake off excess.

3. Use the glitter glue to draw a letter or shape (I used the first initial of my daughter's name) on top of the glitter.

4. Allow ample drying time for the glitter and glitter glue layer to dry. If the glitter layer is still wet or tacky, once you add the Diamond glaze, the glitter will float up and cloud your image. If the glitter glue is not dry, the Diamond glaze can cause the glue to blend together. If you've opted to use a picture, scrapbook paper, or photo, you do not have to wait for drying time. You can proceed to step 5.

5. Add several drops of Diamond Glaze inside top until glitter glue layer is completely covered. Diamond Glaze comes out of the bottle cloudy but dries crystal clear!

6. Leave the tops on a level surface to dry completely. If you need a quicker drying time, you can use a blow dryer or heat gun dryer to speed up the process.

Use your imagination and upcycle those bottle tops!
