INSTRUCTIONS:
Any paper memorabilia can be used for your bracelet.  I used two photographs of my granddaughter, a note that she wrote where she spelled out the word NANA and told me what each letter stands for like N-Nice, etc.  You can also use book pages or wrapping paper for the back ground. Have some fun with photographs and personal messages.  Cut your background paper and memorabilia in a circle that fits into the bottle cap. 

Work on a flat surface that won’t be disturbed for at least 24 hours.  Glue the paper of your choice to the inside bottom of the cap.  Press the Fashion Drops in place.  Sprinkle in Rocaille and bugle beads.  Push them around so that you can still see the writing or person in the photo.
Fill a teaspoon ½ full of Triple Thick glaze.  Pour glaze into the center of the paper and jewels.  Use your tooth pick to move the glaze to the edge, rim of the bottle cap.  You don’t have to fill the cap up with glaze just enough to cover everything.  Let the finished caps rest for 24 hours.
