In which we did the project

Here it is!! The project that we have all been waiting for. As you can see, we made Andie’s initials out of beer caps and being such a sport I’m going to tell you how it was done.

Collect the beer caps (the prettier the better)

Wash the beer caps (they stink … of BEER)

Use needle nose pliers to open the sides of the caps (or else they’ll just smoosh and not flatten all the way)

Smash the caps on a steel plate (which I had from work but you can just use something else)

… with a rubber mallet (so you don’t screw up the pretty cap)

Order some letters (I did this over the internet)

Spray paint them black (that is actually up to you … Andie didn’t want wood showing through)

Glue on the caps (with a glue gun … or two)

Admire your handiwork

Blog about it
