What is on Your Workdesk WednesdayStamping Ground is hosting:
My "desk" moved to an art studio in town for a few weeks so the kids to do some summer crafting. This messy project is now cleaned up and ready for the next step.
If you want to see a close-up of the little nests and how to build them inside the bottlecaps, see the post below this one...those are my favorite. We used moss and Glossy Accents.
Mini sandollars, river rocks, sea glass and lots of microbeads and glitter! They chose some great color schemes.
These were all sealed with glaze and will become pushpins or magnets as we gear up for our December craft fair.

Very clever. Would love to try this with my kids. What varnish do you use on the bottle tops?

Famfa, I clicked on your name but I don't see any details on contacting you. I used "Glossy Accents" as a glue and a sealer...Joann's or ACMoore ect. It dries clear and hard. Have fun!! Lisa
Such delicious bottle caps - the kids must have had an amazing time! Happy WOYWW...

Thanks for visiting me this morning. I have been looking around your blog this morning too. I love the bottle cap ideas and your flowers are so pretty. The beauty of flowers is each and every one is beautiful in it's own way and no matter how you shape it, it is perfect! Well done!
That is such a fun, cheap and accessible way to create!! I love the results :D

We have been making necklaces out of bottlecaps this week. The kids enjoyed it. Such fun.
Adding shells is a good idea I might take them on the beach next week to see what we can find.
Have a great weekend

Hi Lisa! First time we have met and I first want to say I love your blog banner. So pretty.
Oh and I have to try the bottle cap craft with my boys. I think they would love it. They are all so cute to look at.
Thanks for sharing such a lovely project.

What a great idea to inspire the kids. Little treasures. What did you seal them with? One of the ladies used a similar idea on a seaside themed tag. They make fab embellishments. I think I will have to give it a go. Happy WOYWW to you from Helen 22
That looks like a really fun project! They turned out great!

What a fun craft for the kids!! And upcycling is an important lesson -- you can make beautiful art from found objects!!!
I'll be visiting desks pretty much all week this week.
Happy WOYWW
