My 2 year old son Oliver is addicted to magnets. The endless appeal of moving them from freezer to radiator and back again, stopping for a while to line them up on the radiator in varying patterns.
I do have some bottle cap magnets, but they haven’t been altered in any fashion, and as soon as I saw the ‘craze’ for flattening the Stampin’ Up! soda pop tops in the Big Shot die cutting machine, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with mine.
It could only be a special set of magnets just for him!
So, I flattened 8 of the large soda pop tops and used a lovely stamp set and markers to create a bespoke collection just for him.
And because I’ve been asked this quite a few times, the miniature magnets are Neodymium magnets and are 8mm in diameter by 0.75mm in depth. Ebay will be your friend here, and a seller called MagnetsMagnetsMagnets. And yes, he sells worldwide!

So, here’s my list of the products I used –
Soda Pop Tops (spring summer catalogue)
A Fitting Occasion Stamp Set
Basic Black Ink
Various Stampin’ Write Markers from the Brights Collection
Whisper White Cardstock
1inch circle punch
Please do let me know what you do with your bottle caps, and as ever, please leave a comment, I do love to hear from you.
