Bottle Cap Crafts for the Home

Using salvaged or reclaimed materials around the home is a great way to bring creativity to your interior design while helping out the planet. Some reclaimed materials naturally make sense for the home—salvaged wood, recycled glass, reclaimed metal. Others, not so much. Bottle caps fall into this latter category. These colorful collectibles are easy to toss without a second thought, but they offer so much potential for a spark of color and creativity for the home. Check out these five ideas for ways to bring bottle caps into your home in a stylish manner.
