If you are a crafty person then you will love to create a bottle cap snowman. This is an easy, inexpensive, Christmas ornament that would make a great addition to your tree.
Paint the inside of each bottle cap white. You’ll probably need several coats, letting it dry in between. You can paint the outsides too, but, it is not necessary.
Glue three bottle caps to a piece of ribbon. You’ll also want to put a bit of glue in between each bottle cap to hold them together. Form a loop with the top of the ribbon and glue in place.
Use the end of a paintbrush or a toothpick to paint eyes, a nose, mouth and buttons on your snowmen. You can paint more if you want.
Tie a ribbon or a piece of yarn between the first and second bottle caps to make a scarf and accent with a button if desired.
