Harry Potter is a big thing in our house and the kids were over the moon when they saw I was printing something Harry Potter related. Bottlecap Necklaces are super easy to make and great for birthday party favors. You can also skip the necklace part and make these bottlecaps for hair accessories for your favorite Harry Potter fan!
You will need: (You could find most of your supplies at Walmart in the Jewelry department but we were lazy and just ordered it all online)
- Harry Potter Bottlecap Images (Believe me when I tell you it’s better to use photo paper with the gloss on it than just regular printer paper)
- Silver Bottlecaps or Colored Bottlecaps
- Necklace Bails or Split Rings (you will need the Hole Puncher HERE if using slip rings)
- 1″ Epoxy Stickers
- E6000 Adhesive
- 1″ Hole Punch (you can also just use scissors if you’re really good at cutting)
- Ball Chain Necklaces
Step 1: Cut out all your Harry Potter Bottlecap Images at once and set aside
Step 2: Trial and error taught us that using actual photo paper is best to print your images on because you will need to stick the images to the bottlecaps. If you use regular printer paper the adhesive will come through and ruin the image. You DO NOT Need a lot of E6000 under the image
Step 3: Next you just need to add your adhesive drops to each bottlecap. After applying the drop make sure to push down and get any bubbles out so the image comes through more clear.
Step 4: This is where we may go separate ways as you can use your Necklace Bails or Slip Rings to make it a pendant able to be placed on a chain.
- If using bails: Apply a small amount of E6000 to the bail portion that will be on the bottlecap and then find the middle top of your bottlecap (refer to the front of the image to make sure it lines up)
- If using Slip Rings: Use your hole puncher to make a hole then attach your slip ring (this is honestly the more sturdy route for these)
Step 5: Just attach your ball chain necklaces (or necklace of your choice)
