Bottle Cap Necklace Party Favors

Bottle caps are the latest rage right now in scrapbooking, crafting and jewelry making . A bottle cap necklace would make a wonderful party favor for your daughter's next birthday. The girls will love receiving these necklaces in their favor bags or as a stand alone favor. Bottle caps are fun accessories that add a little funk to your wardrobe. If you decide to hand out bottle cap necklaces as favors, you can wrap them in a pretty bag or pouch.

You can purchase bottle cap necklaces completely assembled and ready to give out to the birthday party guests or you can make them yourself. If you choose to make them yourself, you can construct them from scratch or purchase the finished bottle cap and just assemble the necklace.

These bottle cap necklace favors can be purchased or crafted in any birthday party theme, so you are sure to find the perfect favor for your party.

There are many sellers that offer custom bottle cap necklaces that would be great for your birthday party favors. The finished bottle caps are put on coordinating grosgrain ribbon or a silver ball chain. Sometimes the necklaces are embellished with dangle beads for a really fun look.

The custom bottle cap necklaces I have posted on this page were created by Honey Girl Boutique and My Funky Jewels. They are priced between $6.50-$9.99 and would make a wonderful stand alone party favor for the birthday guests. These sellers currently offer many birthday party themes including Dora the Explorer, High School Musical, Jonas Brothers, Camp Rock, Hannah Montana, Zac Efron, Butterflies, Disney Princesses, Twilight, Minnie Mouse, Ladybugs, Strawberry Shortcake, Peace Signs and more.

Simply purchase one of the fancy organza jewelry pouches I have listed below for the necklace and they are ready to hand out to the party guests.

There are many sellers that offer custom crafted bottle caps. These bottle caps feature a large variety of different birthday party themes. Many of them are made to coordinate with official partyware designs, so you are sure to find the perfect theme for your party favors.

The bottle caps are epoxy sealed and are crafted from bottle caps which are unused and uncrimped which means they have never been sealed down on a bottle.

If you decide to purchase these custom bottle caps and assemble your own party favor necklaces, here is what you need to do:

• Punch a hole through the flattened rim of the bottle cap using a hammer and nail.
• Use jewelry pliers to attach a jump ring through the punched hole.
• Slide the finished bottle cap onto a ball chain or ribbon.

*Birthday Party Tip:  These custom bottle caps can also be used to embellsh the birthday invitations and/or decorate party favor bags.

You can also craft your bottle caps from scratch. The process is fairly simple and making the favor necklaces is a fun project you and your daughter can work on together. There is more than one way to create bottle cap necklaces, however, I will list the basic instructions below.

• Purchase unused bottle caps. *Used bottle caps tend to have sharp edges around the cap.
• Bottle caps can be flattened or used as they are
• If you choose to flatten your bottle caps, place them ridge side down. Using a mallet, tap the bottle cap twice on top. Then, turn over and hit it once more to even it out
• Find a small image you would like to use for your bottle cap
• Using a 1" circle punch, punch out your image
• *There are sellers that offer premade bottle cap images in many designs.  Nice time saver.
• Glue the image to the bottle cap
• Seal the bottle cap using Diamond Glaze, Liquid Lacquer or Resin
• Wait 24 hrs for the coating to completely dry
• Once your bottle cap is completely dry, you can then follow the necklace making instructions above to assemble your necklace
• *If you use Clear Epoxy 3D Circles, there is no drying time required
  
  
  

 

In addition to placing your completed bottle caps onto ball chain necklaces and ribbon, you can also create a choker necklace for your bottle caps.

To make a choker necklace, you can use organza ribbon or stretch grosgrain ribbon. This ribbon is available in a variety of colors. You can even use a velvet stretch ribbon. Some of this ribbon is already assembled with a clasp and all you need to do is add your bottle cap. Other times you can purchase the ribbon and add the clasp yourself.
