@SierraxBrianne Epoxy stickers really adhere best to completely flat surfaces, so the texture of the lace might cause the stickers to not stay on as well. Lace can be used with resin in bottle caps though - however white or pale cream lace usually disappears when the resin is poured on top of, so you would want to use a darker or black lace.
@faithbutterfly2007 I am glad you enjoyed the video. For this project, the bottle cap was not already flattened, it was just a regular bottle cap. If you wanted to flatten the bottle cap, you can see our video on How to Flatten Bottle Caps and I would recommend doing it as your first step in the project before punching the hole or adding the art work.
@Beadaholique However, if you think you will mainly be attaching a small jump ring to use as a bail, I would go with the smaller 1.25mm hole punch so that the ring has a tighter fit. When pouring resin, you are going to want that jump ring to be fairly snug in the hole so that resin does not seep out if you happen to pour as high as the punch.
@vershei Instead of using epoxy stickers, you can use either 1 part UV resin or 2 part resin. Also, you can use a clear glass cabochon as well. Have fun!
@Beadaholique Another alternative is to use a little bit of glue (any glue will do) to glue the jump ring into the hole and thus create a barrier that the resin can not leak out of. The resin will then securely keep the jump ring in place (that is why any glue would work). Make sure to let the glue dry fully before you pour the resin. With the epoxy stickers, you need a flat surface so unfortunately charms are out. It *might* be possible to use fabric.
@gatafierrra E6000 is a much thicker glue then Nunn Permanent Glue which can make it difficult to use on the backside of the paper, you might have a hard time spreading a thin layer. Also, I have had some instances of E6000 seeping into paper and creating "wet" marks on the topside, so I tend to avoid using it directly on paper. A good alternative to the Nunn glue is Crafter's Pick Glue. If any other questions come up, just let me know. Have fun! Julie
@Beadaholique 2)Nunn Glue and Tacky Glue are both what I consider "white glues" - meaning they are good for paper projects, crafts, and other art projects. Tacky glue is a bit thicker and I find it dries a little quicker and "grabs" objects a bit better. Nunn Glue is thinner which means it spreads out a bit more evenly and creates a thinner layer (which is good for mixed media collage projects).
@Beadaholique The type of paper shown in the video is from Nunn Designs collage sheets - they are premade collage sheets and the paper is heavier then standard printer paper. I do a lot of printing at home myself using my husband's art work and I like to use 60lb or heavier stock. I prefer 80 - 100lb if possible - so these are considered cover stocks.
I like to use a "white" glue for this application because it does not absorb into and discolor the paper. Crafter's Pick is a good option as well as Nunn Glue. A liquid super glue will most likely cause blotches on the paper.
@Beadaholique The reason is, I feel they are a bit more substantial, absorb the printer ink better, and will also not warp with the glue which needs to be applied on their backs. You can use lighter weight papers, but be careful of the amount of glue you use. I have even used pages from a comic book (which is super light, thin paper) and it has turned out just fine.
@Beadaholique I have not tried it yet, but the the epoxy stickers are quite sticky and if you had perhaps a cotton or a linen fabric, it might just work. I would try to make one and then wear it for awhile and see if it holds, I think that will be the only way to truly know.
@Beadaholique I also have found that Nunn Glue holds up better when exposed to water - my experience is that tacky glue breaks down when wet. Hope this helps!
@Beadaholique Finally, look at your competition and see what they are selling. Etsy is GREAT for this. Go to Etsy, click on Jewelry, then Necklace, and then type bottle cap into the search field. The search results will show you a lot of artists who are making bottle cap necklaces. Look for ones which are similar to yours and see how they are pricing them. I hope this helps! Good luck!
@Cheetarded To create your own collages and print images, one way is to just find images online and then print them on A4 (standard 8 1/2" x 11") paper. If you are planning on selling what you make, then be sure to only use copy-right free images. Once you have printed the images on the paper, then you can just paste the epoxy sticker on top of the image and cut around it.

@S11VII Hi! My favorite glue for adhering any object (non-paper) to metal is E6000. Nunn glue is excellent for paper, but it you are adhering a plastic object to a metal object, I would suggest E6000
@xoxorockerxoxo Sounds like you are about to start on a fun adventure! For deciding on price, I would consider all these factors: How much did your supplies cost? Luckily bottle caps are really affordable and you can get a lot of them. Make sure though to add factor in the cost of the chain, bail, image, etc. Try to figure out the amount it costs you per completed necklace to make. This will give you a good starting point for what you need to sell it for.
@TAYLORRHEASWIFT Hi! Unfortunately there is not a household product that you can use in place of epoxy stickers, I'm sorry. If you needed to order some epoxy stickers from our website, there is still time to do so before Christmas.
@proudgrandma4times Hot glue might be a bit thick but a thin layer of E6000 would work well. Make sure to work in a well ventilated area when using E6000.
@iHeartAndySixx713 1) Click on the link for the "Bird in a Bottle Cap Necklace" in the in the video description underneath the video. It'll take you to a page on our website. Click the "Purchase All Supplies" button and it'll show you how much the supplies are to make the necklace in the video.
@Beadaholique How much time did you put into each piece? If you are making more then one at once, add your time for all of the pieces combined and then divide by the number of finished necklaces. You want to make sure you pay yourself a decent wage. What/Who is your market? Are you selling to young girls, selling at craft fairs, selling at a high end art fair? Who your buyer is and what they have available to spend will dictate price.
@gatafierrra Hi! I am so glad you like the videos! Jewelry making is such fun and I love watching how-to videos as well, I learn a lot from the other wonderful artists out there. If you think you will be making a lot of different types of jewelry and designs, i would go with the larger hole punch so that you can use varying items with it.
@ellenhanqinyu You can get them on Beadaholique . com's website. The links for the supplies in this video including the epoxy stickers are located in the video description underneath the video.

I have used modpodge and elmer's white glue to glue the images to the bottle caps. They still pop out when dropped by the kids. Would E6000 or hot glue work? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I must clarify, Im not saying all these videos are not wonderful idea and especially great projects for kids, I think the modern world has just never learned how to do things like as I mentioned on another video I use house paint, not fabric paint or any other kind to paint with. Unless I was trying to be Van Gough, acrylic is acrylic! I mix my own paint colors from just white, black and primarys! And its really durable. Bin is my best friend for prepping any surface!
@Gabby Gabzowz - You can use Mod Podge for the glue, although I feel that the bond is not quite as strong. Crafters Pick also works well. Adhesives www.beadaholique.com/c-61288-adhesives.aspx?UA-cam&

Hi Christine, we do alway like to suggest people get to know their local craft stores, many of our designers learned their skills working at craft stores and they're a great community resource. However if you can't discover any local to you then you can always buy from us. We ship to customers around the globe every day. You can find our listing these stickers here www.beadaholique.com/p-32201-25-1-inch-circle-epoxy-stickers-bottle-cap-pendants.aspx
Vanessa Garcia You will want to match the interior diameter of the bottle cap to the sticker size. So if the overall size of the bottlecap is 1", then you will need a smaller sticker. The bottle caps we sell are 32mm in diameter and have an approximately 1" interior diameter so 1" epoxy stickers fit them. Here is one set that we sell but it comes in other colors too: www.beadaholique.com/p-33614-sky-blue-crown-bottle-caps-with-1-circle-epoxy-stickers-50.aspx

well I first started out at recycling soda cans which lead to tab jewelry and then bottle caps.Why am I seeing in all these videos that many are purchasing the very items, from caps and tabs and whatever? it is not 100% recycle, including now epoxy stickers? I had no idea things I was seeing at "craft" exibits were not totally hand made or recycled. What I should be doing is selling my REAL hand made items of 100s of ideas using the 1900s recycle idea from my mother born in 1929 Scotland!

Yes you can, be sure to print on either a card stock or slightly heavier paper to avoid any visible bumps when gluing to your bottle cap.
Yes. You can use any kind of chain, cord or string that you want.

Can the glue hold plastic to metal objects securely? Such as Epoxy?
