Add glue to the inside of the lid and then press down the picture into the glue and the lid. Then Cut out a cardboard triangle and fold the top corner of it and then glue it to the back of the lid. This makes a beautiful frame. You can always paint over parts of the cap that are unattractive.

How to Make Plaster Decorated Hot Plates

You will need 1 cottage cheese lid or coffee can lid, plaster of Paris or patching plaster, enough colored fish rock or fish gravel or small colored marbles of equal size to completely cover the bottom of the lid, water, and newspaper. Set the lid on a covering of newspaper. Fill the lid about half full with plaster of Paris mixed to a thick creamy consistency. Before it really begins to "set," scatter the gravel or rock evenly over the plaster or set the marbles close together in the plaster. Make sure the rock or gravel is even on top and does not extend above the edge of the lid. Set aside to dry.

Making Bottle Cap Belts

To make bottle cap belts, you will need a nail, hammer, 16 to 20 bottle caps, 10- or 12-ft. heavy white cord, and adhesive tap. Punch 4 holes in the tops of bottle caps. Remove cork. Cut cord in half. Tightly bind all ends of cord with tape to make stringing of caps easier. String caps on cord, using both pieces, in cross-stitch fashion (in other words, string the cord in an 'x' shape on the caps). Cross or letter 'x' is formed on inside of cap. Leave about 1" between caps (measuring on top of cap). Adjust belt to fit waist. Leave equal lengths of cord at each end for tying.
