Beer Crafts: Making the Most of Your Cans, Bottle Caps, and Labels

Beer Crafts: Making the Most of Your Cans, Bottle Caps, and Labels

A synthesis of two outstanding hobbies — making things and drinking. Beer Crafts shows you how to repurpose bottle caps, labels, bottles, and cans into useful, hip, and quirky items. The projects are super fun, easy to make (even for first-time crafters), and most supplies are things you probably already have on hand — or chilling in the fridge.

Inspiration came from author Shawn Gascoyne-Bowman’s eight-year-old daughter, who spent a summer making jewelry from discarded bottle caps and left a note on her desk: “My crafting involves you to open a beer.” The author had an epiphany: “ALL crafting should involve me opening a beer.” She raised her daughter’s allowance and wrote this book. But first, she opened a beer.
