Bottle caps cannot be reused to re- cover the bottle but they do not have to end up in the trash for that. Quite the contrary, when we use a bottle opener we are actually releasing the bottle to start living a new life.
In this post we propose to give them a second, third or umpteenth life by playing with the magín. Make them one fundamental piece or use them as a nod in our creative recycling projects.
Although the imagination can help us to find unexpected uses for them, at first the number of plates is what usually determines the type of project that we are going to carry out.
Jewelery and decoration
If we have very few, we will have to use them giving them all the leadershipEither by turning them into earrings, using them in a necklace, making a key ring, a magnet for the fridge or, for example, combining them with other elements.
On many occasions they are used as small photo frames that, in turn, can be part of a necklace, as if it were a cameo.
If we are more bollantes and we have many badges, the possibilities are expanded, both to make original jewelry (look at the necklace in the image that opens the post) and to line tables, photo frames, mirrors or to make your own coasters.
Use the plates to make mobiles for the garden or balcony or to create singing and multi-colored curtains are other interesting options.
Games for children and adults
Playing tag is a game of yesteryear. It is true that at any moment playing tag can become fashionable and relive its best times, but very probably it will be ephemeral.
Be that as it may, no we need it to be fashionable to have a great time playing veneers, either with the little ones in the house or letting them enjoy competing with each other. In case you need any indication, the plates have to be played with the metal caps or plates, and the plastic caps also work.
In both cases customizing them is a way to give excitement to the game. It will be easy to find nice drawings or comic characters to decorate them and, if we form a soccer team, we can choose photos of soccer players.
For the rest, the objective is to travel a certain space faster than your opponent or hit the ball by driving the plate with the index and ring finger, at home or on the street, on the carpet, in the hallway, always looking for a uniform surface on the floor.
Collecting in times of crisis
Collecting badges is one interesting hobby as such, not so much because of its monetary value, which, except for some highly sought after plates, is minimal, but because of that nostalgic flavor that is worth all the gold in the world.
In addition, to a large extent it will be done alone if your friends and family know about your hobby. They will take advantage of any little trip and visit to breweries to collaborate. In these cases, the collection will have more value the better preserved the plates, also known as crown caps, are.

Changing the third, it will be fun to use the plates as pieces of a collage or as board pieces for the most different games, among others Ludo, checkers and even chess, preparing in turn a artisan board, another creative way to recycle.
Drawing a letter or numbers on each of the plates also allows you to play and learn at the same time, in this case by forming short words or phrases, placing the numbers one by one or doing sums. The smallest of the house will learn and enjoy.
