Begin your bottle cap project by selecting some paper imagery you like. In the paper pad I used, I had quite a few options and choose to use some patterned papers. The punch is ideal for this project because it punches out the exact size to fit your one-inch circle bezel.
Paper needs to be sealed before you pour resin over it. I like to use a decoupage medium and I apply three different sealing coats allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
When my paper is sealed I also like to add a little glitter to the edges. Glitter looks wonderful under resin. In this case I am adding it to the edges, but you could add it anywhere you like.
I also added some peel off stickers.
My final step was to make a small batch of Jewelry Resin
following the manufacturer’s instructions and simply poured it into each bottle cap. You can watch a video showing you how to make and pour Jewelry Resin on ETI's website or read
hundreds of “how-to” posts on this blog. 
You can make a bottle cap a pendant quickly by simply gluing a bail to the back. These heart shaped bails make the back of my pendant as pretty as the front.
Once my bails were in place I chose two different necklace options. One pendant I strung with a ball chain and for the second I used Czech Glass Beads Lejardin Mix to make a colourful strand.
