Stick it..

I made these cool push pins after seeing them in the Martha Stewart January 2008 issue. This is what you need to make them:

1" circular punch
craft glue
bottle caps
clear casting resin & activator
contact cement
small magnets or thumbtacks

1. Using the circular punch, cut out pictures. Using the craft glue, attach one picture to the inside of the bottle cap. Let dry.
2. Follow manufacturer's instructions for clear casting resin, fill each bottle cap to the rim. Let dry overnight.
3. Using contact cement, attach magnets or thumbtacks to the backs of the bottle caps. Let dry overnight before using.
***** Wear goggles and make sure room is ventilated as this project stinks big time*******

Have fun...
