DIY Bottle-Cap Table

Here's a new (awesome!) way to put beer bottle caps collection to good use: make a cool bottle-cap table surface using al of them.

You will need about 160 lids for a not very big table. The core process is about gluing each cap to a surface and then pouring epoxy.

I applied a model-making super-glue to the edges of the caps, pressed them in, and waited a few hours for the stuff to dry.

SHOPPING LIST:

• Ikea Ingo table: $25
• Beer: $6 to $10 per sixer
• Super-glue: $3 to $7
• Wood trim: $2 to $3 per piece
• Paint (optional): $4 for 8 oz.
• Paintbrush (optional): $1
• Epoxy: $20 per pint
