#bottlcaps

            If anyone steps into an art supplies store or a craft store that stocks jewelry supplies, please do not get swept up in the allure of fake bottlecaps.   It seems that bottlecap jewelry is becoming popular meaning that companies have started manufacturing fake bottlecaps.  These faux bottlecaps come with pre-drilled slots for easy put-together-ness, and the same companies produce clear little bubble stickers to put over whatever art goes inside. The end result is clean and polished. 

            I’m sorry but if you’re purchasing these things then you are missing the entire point.  The new trend in jewelry is repurposing, recycling, re-using, and having things look rough and industrial, because they are in fact rough and industrial things.  It is not about buying brand new shiny things. It’s about finding a new purpose for things you already have.

Dye's Underground Art only deals in real bottlecaps.
