Count Down To Earth Day: 44 Days

Earth Day is April 22nd.  I will try to bring you one inspiring recycle craft idea each day counting down to the big day.

Today's idea: Bottle Cap Curtain

I love it when creative people turn something so banal into something so beautiful!  As you can see, the possibilities are endless.  The simplest method requires no tools or special skills.  Simply crunch metal bottle caps around a length of twine.  Hang from a spring rod or dowel, or you could tack each sting individually above a door or window.

The plastic cap variety will require holes to be punched.  A drill will be most efficient.  String on any material you have available, or get fancy and connect with metal jump rings.  Start salvaging those bottle caps and see what you can create!
