DIY Recollections Embellishments

I was at Michael's recently, and saw these cute little embellishments.  They were doilies, with bottle caps and a pretty center. I almost bought them, then realized that I could make my own.

I had the mini doilies already, I crocheted them a while ago.  I dug through my stash and found the bottle caps, and then found these epoxy bubbles, from Recollections and from Prima.  It fit PERFECT!  I used a little E-6000 adhesive, and TAA DAA!  I think I may make these into magnets for a magnet board I want to make in my craft room.

Stay Crafty, My Friends!
