A few months back I saw magnets similar to this in a store, a set of 12 for around $20, I thought... "hmm, I could make those." I needed to collect bottle caps and then some magazine images that I liked. So, I need to say thank you to all the people at Jarrett's surprise party last night, they didn't act like it was too crazy when I asked them to save bottle caps for a project I wanted to do. I took home a 20oz cup full of bottle caps. I had some images of birds that I liked so I used a quarter to get the right shape. Also I spray painted all the caps white so they would be unified. I think I may refine this project and make L-O-V-E magnets for valentines day with my special needs class, I am there version of an art teacher. (the rest of the time I teach personal finance)
Every thing was recycled, the caps, images, glue, paint, and magnets, so the cost for this project was 30 minutes of my time! Woo Hoo!
