Someone on discord asked how I was making pins with bottle caps so here goes nothing

you need
bottle caps (the ones made of metal obv)
pliers
safety pins
paper
glue
optional acrylic paint
optional paint varnish (the kind you would spray on top of an acrylic painting)

I'm only saying "optional" because sometimes you just like what's already printed on the bottle cap. I mean look at this puffin, it's so cute. But you should probably spray the print with varnish anyway if you don't want it to disappear too quickly (that cap on the left was in my pocket for like 3 months and the print has already disappeared around the edge)

pinch the edge of the cap with the pliers and turn it slightly toward the top side of the cap. Continue to do so around the entire cap but don't try to flatten it all in one go cause it's kinda hard. It should only take two minutes or so anyway

almost there

there, it's flat now. If you want to paint or write something on it, add a couple of layers of acrylic paint on it before you paint/write what you actually want on the pins

I wanted skeleton parts on mine because I saw someone with pins like that and idk where they bought them

I drew them with a Pitt pen on top of 4 layers of white acrylic

spray a coat of varnish on them but PLEASE do that outside, you do NOT want to breathe that stuff. Then wait a few hours for it to dry

on the back, add 1) glue 2) one safety pin 3) a thin paper across the pin - squish the paper against the wet glue. When it's dry, add another layer of glue on top. Just drown the back of the pin in crystal glue otherwise it's gonna break too easily. Just make sure the safety pin can still open and close easily
let it dry until the next day just to be sure. Tug on the safety pin a bit to make sure it's glued correctly

congrats you've made pins with bottle caps
