I have been collecting beer caps for a looong time. Being a total pack rat, I find myself collecting anything that is colorful, abundant, and has relative similarities between pieces. Beer caps are fantastic. During every party we've had over the last few years, I've put out the cap bowl, and attempted to collect every beer cap that popped in my house. Now, after a few beers, the attention to detail just isn't there to get a group of party people to drop their caps in a designated bowl, so I'd bet that I've only successfully collected about a fifth of the caps I should have. However, that only makes the caps that I DO have even more fun. As I sifted through them for this project, I noticed that I wasn't even sure what kind of beer some of them were. Then, there was the occasional Bud Light Lime cap which brought back memories of the only night we brought those home. Apparently, I threw in a couple of our Johnnie Walker caps in as we finished off a bottle of Black Label which I don't recall doing, but I'm glad that I did. Looking at those caps, I knew that this wind chime would serve as a personal "drunk history" of sorts - bringing up stories and reminding us of fun nights gone by. I started by sorting through the caps to make sure that I had a nice variety of brands. Then, I lined them up on the coffee table to see how they would look next to each other once they were attached. I ended up rearranging all of them based on color so that the yellow lemon beer caps, green lime caps, blue Sam Adams caps, and black Guinness caps were spread out to create a nice random feel and to avoid getting any spots that were too dark or too bright in one clump. Next, I grabbed my tools: - a scrap piece of 2x4 I had out in the shed - pliers - needle nose pliers - a wire cutter - my drill and 3/32 drill bit - 10mm safety wire - about 80 bottle caps - a handful of shiny plastic beads I've had FOREVER but wasn't quite sure what to do with To begin assembly, you'll want to make sure to grip your bottle caps with pliers while you drill. I started by just holding them down with my hands, but as we've all learned at one point or another, bottle caps can be deceivingly sharp. Also, you shouldn't put your fingers that close to a moving drill bit. Drill two holes into each cap. Attempt to put the holes directly across from each other so that the cap will hang straight once it's attached to the wire. *Drilling through metal is different than drilling through wood. It does not take even pressure and drill slowly through until you reach the other side. Just pick a spot, start drilling, and it will suddenly punch through the metal. I didn't bother paying attention to which direction the holes would cause the caps to hang because the color placement was more important to me, but if having all of your caps facing the correct way is important to you, then I would suggest marking all of your hole spots with a sharpie before drilling so that you don't drop the ball in the middle of the project. When you're looking at the back of something like 80 caps, it's easy to mix up the direction of the faces. The holes will be kind of jagged, so I recommend using gloves. I noticed the day after completing this project that my fingers had tiny scratches and tears on them which could have easily been avoided with gloves. I'm much more of a "hind sight is 20/20" kind of person when it comes to DIY projects. Once I get an idea, I tend to just jump on it without much prepping or safety consideration. However, I do NOT recommend doing your projects that way. Always consider safety first! Do as I say, not as I do, right? :) Once I had holes in all of the caps that I planned to use, I cut about 90 pieces of safety wire at about 4.5" long each. Then, I fed one end of a piece of wire into one hole from the back of the cap. Take the wire and wrap it around itself until it creates a nice tight spiral. Then, use the needle nose pliers to grab that end of the wire and crimp in into the coil so it doesn't catch on anything. I then slid a bead onto the end of the wire, turned the whole thing around and attached the other side of the wire to another bottle cap the exact same way as this one. This means you are only using one wire in between each cap, and I only put a bead on every other wire or so. For my hanger, I got really lucky. We are in the process of renovating our kitchen, and I ended up with an extra metal pole from a cabinet. So, I grabbed that, ran a string through each hole in the pole, and then ran some wire through the entire pole to hang it! I absolutely adore this wind chime. Now, I will admit that it doesn't make the musical sound of a standard wind chime, but the caps do make a cute little metallic clink as they tap each other in the wind. I also love how bright and colorful it is, which is hard to come by in our yard since we don't have a lot of flowering plants back there. Overall, it's a super cheerful, easy project that takes a little bit of time to put together but is completely worth it. I love sitting in the sun and thinking about all of the good times those caps facilitated :)

This is not my idea, but I know a good one when I see it, and I had to tuck this away to do this summer with the kids. Some kids at one of our schools did something similar for a science project, and then my friend Michelle, over at Scribbit, detailed the project when she did it with her children up in Alaska. That being said, so that I take no credit whatsoever, this is a really, really cool thing to do with your kids, young and old. Even my sixteen year old daughter was completely engaged for the hours we spent. First, here's what you need for each one: 3 clear 2-liter (empty) soda bottles clear packing tape aquarium gravel water dechlorinator rubber band 4" piece of netting (I used cut up pantyhose) soil fish, snails, or other aquatic life elodea, (which is banned in CA), duck weed (which the store didn't have), anachris, or other aquatic plants crickets, pill bugs, earthworms a few dead leaves and small sticks You can use the link to Scribbit for perfectly detailed directions, but first you get your soda bottles, 3 for each ecosystem, and you begin cutting them up. The bottom one (basement, AKA pond life) gets the top cut off of it. The middle one (AKA coupler) gets both bottom AND top cut off. The top level (AKA earth level) gets bottom cut off, but saved to reattach at the end. Once you have your pieces, you take your basement/pond life level and add an inch or so of gravel. Fill it almost to the top with water and add a few drops of dechlorinator. Then add special friends, like the plants, guppies, and snails. You can use different fish, but guppies are the sturdiest. These snails that the nice fish store man chose for us stay fairly small, and they're beautiful. Each ecosystem got 2 snails, 2 branches of anachris (plant), which they could break into smaller pieces, and 3 or 4 guppies so that hopefully 2 will live. The guppies and snails were happy almost immediately, exploring their new home. Well, except for one of Aiden's that just floated to the bottom. And then swam like a madfish to the top only to float to the bottom again. Aiden named him "Wheeeeeee!" We're not sure how long Wheeeee! will be around for. For the top/earth level, we put the layer of pantyhose over the open mouth of the bottle, secured it with a rubberband and then turned it upside down. Next, we added a layer of gravel, and then some super-soil from our garden. Into this level we planted some grass seed, but rye/alfalfa/mustard would work well too. I just couldn't find my sprouting seeds. Then we added our friends, one cricket (with a small chunk of potato for him to nibble), 3 pill bugs, and an earthworm each. Then a few dead leaves and small sticks went on top. Just for fun, I gave each child a garden tag to use for a nameplate. The bottom of that soda bottle (which is now the top) was taped back on, with the edges tucked just inside the rest of the bottle so water doesn't run out. Then that top level is set inside the coupler level and taped. Both of those two top levels are now set inside the pond life basement level and secured with tape. Now it should be airtight and self-contained, as a proper ecosystem should be. Can you see the little fishies swimming around? Now just set them in front of a sunny window so that photosynthesis can happen, setting in motion the cycle of life. The water will evaporate to the top to rain down on the soil, helping the grass to grow and the dead leaves to decompose, which feed the insects. There will be plenty of oxygen from the plants, and the algae that will grow will feed the fish and snails. Can't wait to watch it all happen! Oh, and by the way, all of the supplies for 3 ecosystems, including the soda bottles came to under $17. Nice.

This past summer I attended a sewing/scrapbooking retreat. One of my favorite things about retreats (other than actually getting 'stuff' done) is discovering new toys and doodads the others bring along. One sewing gal brought along this little pill bottle someone made her as a 'hello' gift at another retreat she attended. She carries it with her along with a little pouch with some hand piecing fabric projects. She said she brought this to jury duty a few weeks prior. All the sudden 'doing my civic duty' doesn't sound so bad. I could not find the pill bottles with the dual tops (one side twist on, the other snaps on), and I had a LOT of drug popping family members and friends I interviewed in hopes of locating these (apparently) rare jewels. I did finally get this little bottle with a small indention via Zee, thanks Zee. I used some left over quilting fabric, and covered it with a scrap of fabric (any cotton would do). I sewed the bottom together with the cotton inside for the pins to push into later. I used super glue, and held it firmly to the top while it dried. I filled it with pins, needles, a small bobbin etc, and now....I'm ready for jury duty. Linking To: Sassy Sites
