1. Adorable DIY Bottle Cap Garden Flower
This little flower would be an adorable addition to your garden or lawn. You make it with bottle caps and a tin can lid – it's a great upcycling project. Just bend your bottle caps to make the petals and then attach them all to an upcycled lid. Use different colored bottle caps to create a really unique flower or match them all for a more uniform look.

This bottle cap lined mirror has a wonderful vintage look to it and you can easily make it with a handful of bottle caps and an oval mirror – or any shape that you desire. You just glue the bottle caps to the frame of the mirror so if you have a mirror that has a relatively wide frame, you can fit more bottle caps in to make it really unique.
