Instructions:
Note: These instructions will teach you how to make 1 magnet. Please follow the same directions to make the other 5 magnets in your set.
- Begin by rough cutting out a single 1" epoxy sticker out of the sheet of many (do not cut right up to the edge of the sticker but instead leave a border). Keep the front and back protective sheets on the sticker at this time. Use this cut-out sticker as a template to move over your Winter Holiday collage sheet and view how each image will look inside the dimensions of the sticker.
-
Once you can visualize where you will place your sticker, remove the top protective sheet first, then remove the bottom protective sheet. Only touch the sides of the sticker, do not touch the sticky backside.
-
Place the sticker directly on top of your image. Press firmly to remove any air bubbles.
-
Using your scissors, cut out the sticker/image. Cut right up along the edge of the sticker but do not actually cut the sticker.
-
Spread some Crafter's Pick glue onto the backside of the image (with the sticker on the other side).
-
Flip over and press onto the flat top side of the bottle cap. You will need to hold the edges down for about 2 minutes to create a good bond and to prevent the image/sticker from popping up. Move your fingers around the edges to press into place. After 2 minutes, you can set this aside to dry. Let dry for 20 minutes.
-
Using a toothpick or scrap piece of wire as an applicator, spread some E6000 on one side of a 3/4" craft magnet.
-
Flip the magnet over and place in the interior of the bottle cap. If your bottle cap has a liner, this is absolutely fine, just place the magnet on top of the liner, centered.
-
Let dry overnight.
-
Happy Holidays!

Variations
Choose a different color of bottle cap to add "pop" to these magnets or choose an entirely different collage sheet for variety and year-long enjoyment.
When substituting in items, pay attention to sizes and styles to make sure all your pieces will fit together.
Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
