The students drew the animals, then we projected them onto cardboard and cu them out. We used hot glue to attach them to cardboard. They are pretty sturdy. I felt more comfortable with the hot glue than the drills. Also, my students wanted to see the outside of the caps, not the inside. We have a lot more saved for this year! Can't wait to see what you all make!!!<br /><br />here is one example:<br />http://katieweymouth.blogspot.com/2010/05/4th-grade-tropical-rainforest-mural.htmlKatie Gonzalezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16007073454015257260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033094648647480121.post-17317312360007497412011-01-08T20:46:01.930-08:002011-01-08T20:46:01.930-08:00I had also planned on doing a bottle cap mural as ...I had also planned on doing a bottle cap mural as part of my themed unit of "ReUse, ReCycle, ReCreate" - but I'm not sure we will have enough caps. I should have asked for them to be saved sooner. If there isn't enough - they can be saved for next year when I do the theme at my other building. I have lots of old crayons and may do a crayon mural instead.<br />Looking forward to seeing everyone's cap murals!Theresa Gillespiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737989801999242457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033094648647480121.post-30429527444768733342011-01-07T08:06:27.293-08:002011-01-07T08:06:27.293-08:00Hola!!

I am hoping to have parent volunteers help us with screwing the caps onto the wood. I made a sample this past August, and it looks really cool (I'm planning on flowers, although the insects would be cool, too!)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992022017735387297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033094648647480121.post-37134668157324947722011-01-06T12:05:20.442-08:002011-01-06T12:05:20.442-08:00I am doing one as well. i've collected about 2...I am doing one as well. i've collected about 2000 bottle caps and getting ready to start soon. There is a Woman named Michelle Stitzeil who has been doing these murals forever, she wrote a book called Bottelecap little bottlecap, it was very helpful to me to wrap my head around the project.

She had her students cover large flowers. She had volunteers come in and help with the screwing on the bottle caps. I believe some of her older elementary students used the drill with assistance. She also used double sided tape to layout the design. They looked amazing!Kristyn DeMinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16941355102355542661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033094648647480121.post-77650540102548939142011-01-05T18:19:56.515-08:002011-01-05T18:19:56.515-08:00Wow, that's awesome!

I'm thinking we'll use smallish nails with big heads. The kids can learn a practical skill (hammering a nail) in addition to the designing, painting (background), and assembling the mural.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922687640493258615noreply@blogger.com
