How to make a bottle cap necklace?

How can I make a bottle cap necklace without destroying the picture on the front?

  • I am trying to make a bottle cap necklace, but everything I have searched for refers to resin and using a picture inside of the bottle cap... However, I want to use the picture seen on the top of the cap. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can do this without destroying the picture on the top as I only have one of these caps and really do not want to destroy it! Any idea will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • Answer:

    try and push a thick needle through both sides of the cap andif you put the string through the eye of the needle you can take it straight through with out having to fiddle about :)
