If you are adding one bead, match it to the background color of the bottle cap, or the letters. If you are using 2 beads, match the bottom one to the letters, and the top one to the background. If you are using three beads, match the top and bottom beads to the background. Match the middle bead to the letters.
When working with spray paint, be sure to work outside or in a well ventilated area.
If you are printing your own design, print it on a laser printer or at a photo lab. Do not use an ink jet printer, or the ink will bleed.
Cut a circle out of scrapbook paper, a page in a book, or a picture, and glue it to the inside of the bottle cap. Use a 1 inch (2. 54 centimeters) wide circle punch to do this.

Cover the inside of the bottle cap with glue, then fill it with some glitter, sequins, or confetti. Tap off any excess glitter, then let the glue dry before filling the bottle cap. If your bottle cap came with a plastic liner inside, you will have to remove it. Click here to find out how.
If there is any liner residue, you can either pop the cap back into the boiling water, or try to scrape it out using a craft knife. Bottle caps cool off quickly, but the water left on them may not. Be careful.
