Collect bottle caps.
-
Buy some craft glue.
-

- If you're working with a group or class, have a pile of magazines ready for them to search through. Just be sure to specify that any picture they choose needs to fit inside the bottle cap.
-
Put a dot of glue inside the bottle cap.
-
Completely cover the bottle cap with glue.

Tips
- You can buy the bottle caps if you haven't any, but it's cheaper and more fun to collect them. If a member of your family drinks a lot of soda or beer, ask them if you can have their bottle caps.
