Learning how to make bottle cap flowers is incredibly simple! For this easy garden craft, arrange the bottle caps as shown above. You will need 1 bottle cap in the center and 6 around the outer ring. Place them upside down on a piece of newspaper, Hot glue all the bottle caps together. Do this gently so they don't all separate before the glue is dried. You may want to do this twice to make sure it is very sturdy.
Hot glue the skewer to the back of the metal flower. let cool .Flip over your flower and paint as desired. I chose white for the center and pastels for the outer ring. I added a few polka dots for a touch of whimsy. You could leave these unpainted if you want a more 'natural' look to your garden art! You will need 2 to 3 coats of paint to completely hide the bottle cap.
