Bottle Cap Beads
It's time once again for "T Day," the day to link up beverage-related posts with Elizabeth on her blog Altered Book Lover. Today I want to share with you a two-minute video about recycled bottle cap beads, made in Minnesota (my home state) at a place called Trinket Foundry. This is the first time I have ever embedded a video in a post. I hope it works! Here is the link, just in case. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yPLLqj7j-e8
I have no hand whatsoever in making these bottle cap beads, though I do like to buy them and use them in my art. I just thought you might enjoy this video. Happy T Day!

Certainly not what I expected, these beads are adorable. I bet they would make an eclectic necklace or bracelet. Fun to see these being made, that's for sure.
Thanks for sharing them for T this week.
What a great way to recycle!
Very cool !

The Trinket Foundry (fun name!) sounds like a fun place...
Happy T Day

Hello and Happy T Day! What a neat video, I love bottle caps. Have always enjoyed seeing art made with them but haven't myself.
Thanks for sharing, have a wonderful day!
The real meaning of 'hand made', I love the way they do these, very cool! Thanks for sharing the video on this T Tuesday :)

OMG! My son is a Coke-lover and I could see making him some kind of key chain or do-dad with a Coke bead--LOL! The video imbedded for me, BTW.
Happy T-Day! :)
The first place I ever saw these was at MOA. I think it was a bead/mixed media shop. Ages ago. I never knew how they were made...thanks for the video!
Happy Tuesday!
Very clever, and a good recycle project.
Happy T-day
seems quite labor intensive...but they are really adorable! love them, so glad you shared the video...
Very cool. Bottle caps have never been a trend that have taken off in our parts.
