bottle CAPS







This assignment gave me a new perspective on trash, and that is how many different things you can do with besides throw it away. We started off making a bracelet out of bottle caps and then stamped a design on them. This looked like an incomplete design so we decided to make a floor mat out of them. We sewed the bottle caps together using hemp, which is very good environmentally. The mat is actually quite comfortable to stand on. We were also going to paint the top of the caps white, but then we decided to embrace that it looked like garbage and it has a kind of pop art feel to it. This assignment turned out very well and I'm proud of the outcome.

Go me and Krista!!!!!!!
