Bottle cap art

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Easy ways to make kids happy|File under crafty

I went out to our back veranda the other day to discover that the girls had removed all of the beer bottle caps that were attached to Mark’s giant magnet. (It’s a 20lb magnet from a radar base that Mark has been holding on to since his bachelor days. Don’t ask.)

They spent a lot of time assembling this masterpiece:

Here’s a closeup:

Goes to show you can make an art project out of almost anything, doesn’t it?

I just hope they aren’t telling their friends at school how much beer we had to drink to get all those bottle caps.

A 20 lb magnet! Wow! As a guy I am jealous (think of all the cool things you could do). Just don’t bring it anywhere near your computer or camera.
