We've seen wine corks used for numerous things; filling up a glass vase, making use of a frame to create a cork board and even grinding them up and use the lot as mulch. But we never thought we'd see (or be impressed) with bottle caps used in everyday home decor.

It took Michelle almost all summer to collect her batch of bottle caps--but we think it was well worth the wait. A quick spray paint of her favorite colors; and a very interesting design trio was born. And even though Michelle found the perfect tray to make-over, make sure yours is deep enough to contain what she calls "acrylic water" to set the bottle caps. We are excited to start our own bottle cap tray but will probably create a new color combo of black and kelly green.
