Thats so cute. ^^ You should use root beer caps for them- then the front and back wuld be equally fun. (then again, not everyone is as addicted to good root beer as I am)

(then again, not everyone is as addicted to good root beer as I am) mmm... rootbeer.... And Cricket Cola, or other bizarre drinks like that. Personally, i wouldn't want to use beer for them, in case my necklace got flipped around backwards.

Those pendants are adorable but I agree with the others, soda caps would suit me better. I really wouldn't like it if people saw the back and thought I drank beer. Years ago when my mom was trying to make her own wine we had some blank bottle caps that she had bought somewhere, my guess would be from a "homebrewing" catalog.

Oh! Or, if you dont like pop, try this stuff called "The Switch". Its juice thats reconstitued with sparkling water instead of flat water. VERY yummy. ^^(lol- now I"ve got to go find a bottle- it's calling to me)

How do you put the loop ontop to hang it on? I've made magnets similar (not as pretty though) but i could never figure out how to make them a pendant.

Oh, those are wonderful! We were saving our beer caps to make rattles and sistrums, but that's a good idea too!
And all our beer is actual beer (not that Coors/Bud/Miller/crap) so half the time you'd never know it was a beer cap from the design. cool

Lee - You are diff a HP nut I didn't even know she had beer cap necklaces
You take a pointy thing that has a screwdriver handle (sorry I can't remember what it is called sweatdrop ) and poke a hole in the side of the cap and then screw an Eye Screw in it.
I've actually started painting the backs cuz I'm thinkin' of selling them
oooo we have jone's at big bee's! *toddles off to seehow much they cost*

I think you speak of an awl.
How did you do the inside? Just super glue charms in?
And happy hunting with the sales! I may do the same at fairs around here. I don't think we'll be competing. wink
