Bottlecap Bonanza!

I found a great pack of High School Musical stickers at the store the other day. They worked perfectly with my punch even! So I made a whole batch of High School Musical bottle caps. In fact, it's amazing what you can do on a treadmill.

It took me a little longer than usual and I didn't do as fast a walk as usual, but I glazed all of these while doing my evening exercise the other night! I made up for the speed by pumping up the incline. Trust me, my heart rate went plenty high, LOL.

Uses for bottle caps:
mount on a bow or on a pony-o to put in hair
add a jump ring to make necklace pendant
add to key chain (such as the BYU keychain in previous post)
add magnets to the back and use on the fridge, filing cabinet, locker, magnet board, etc.
add earring wires to create unique earrings
add a filler and a pin back to pin to a jacket, purse, backpack, scarf, etc.

We LOVE teachers :)

Last week was the end of school for the year (the 2008 year, not the school year :)) so I wanted to send some gifts to the wonderful teachers and helpers in our lives.
I made ribbon-wrapped pens in pairs for each gift. I also made some teacher themed bottlecaps which I made into magnets. They turned out REALLY cute and the teachers absolutely loved them.
We gave gifts to all 4 of Sunshine's preschool teachers, Daisy's bus driver (who has been really great and helped out with a bullying problem), and Daisy's teacher. Sunshine goes to a preschool done by the school district that is particularly for special needs children. They also take non-special needs children, but they don't get to ride the bus and they pay tuition. Sunshine is actually the only tuition paying child in her class. It has been wonderful for her, though, since there is a teacher for about every 3 children and she gets to be the leader and the example a lot -- good for a middle child. I mention all that to explain one of the caps I made particularly for those teachers:
"All children are gifted, some just open their package sooner than others." (purple)
the other say:
"Teachers Rule" (yellow)
"When's Recess?" (gray)
"Discover Wildlife: be a teacher" (orange)
and
"Every time the bell rings a teacher gets her wings" (green)

The bus driver got two pens and a key chain made with a bottle cap I made using the school mascot and "Tiger Pride 2008-09"
The 1st grade teacher got magnets, two pens, and a key chain too.
