Snowman bottlecap pins. Did these as a craft with my Brownie Troop.
Directions:
Stamp image on scraps of white paper with black ink.
Punch out using a 1" circle punch.
Color image with colored pencils.
Glue to inside of bottle caps using Crystal Effects glue (Elmers will peel off bottle cap, so don't use it for this step.). I smooshed the bottle caps first.
Put a drop of Elmers glue on top of the stamped image and sprinkle on a small amount of glitter. Use a small paint brush to mix and spread it into a thin coat. Remove the excess and use it on another image. (you can use Crystal Effects for this but Elmers works just as well and is much cheaper.)
Let dry and attach a pin back using Crystal Effects.
If you are doing this with group of kids, first have them write their initials on the back of the bottle cap with a Sharpie.
I got my bottle caps from http://www.edps.com/index.php/cPath/137
It doesn't matter what color you buy because you don't see it on the back. I got 500 yellow for $10...cheapest I found and I do alot of kid crafts.

These are so cute! I am doing a craft camp with the neighborhood kids in a few weeks, so this will fit right in! As long as you don't mind of course. Great job!
