A few weeks ago Connie from Crafty Goodies so generously offered a couple of her readers a set of her stamped vintage milk bottle caps, so I jumped right on the offer and emailed Connie telling her I had a plan for them. I was originally thinking about gluing a magnet on the back of each one, but after I received them I thought they needed to become something a little more whimsical.....

The best part was that I already had everything I needed. I looked around the house for something to use as a vase, and discovered this "milk" glass salt shaker was the perfect candidate. I added a piece of vintage trim, a tiny silky flower, and a rhinestone around the top.

These are the milk bottle caps Connie from Crafty Goodies sent me. You can check out how she transformed these blanks in her blog post here.

Pieces of paper flowers and vintage doilies from a flea market were glued to the back of the milk caps.

I simply doubled some craft wire for stability and wrapped it in floral tape. A little Tacky Glue holds the wire in place on back of each flower.

These are just too stinking cute!!
so cute Betsy~thanks for the press!!!
So lovely! I really like the grouped effect - that's way cooler than individual magnets - I bet someone buys the whole kit'n'kaboodle. The little coasters are perfect rimming the caps!
how charming! i LOVE stuff like that! so creative! ("merci" for entering my giveaway and bonne chance! ) :)

Wow! Wow! Wow! Your imagination and talent is superb Betsy
Hello Betsy: These milk cap flowers are so charming, and perfect together in your milk glass salt shaker vase. And how neat that you had all the incidental materials already on hand to create everything--yay!
I think there is just no limit to your creativity!!
Your milk cap flowers are so very pretty and charming. I so wish I was as creative as you, I must of been standing behind you when they past it out. Oh me of my! The flowers also look very pretty in the milk glass. Don't you just love milk glass. You are very talented, if we weren't' friends I'd be jealous :-} So glad you shared your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – your creativity helped make the party a success!
These are so sweet! Love the vintage charm ...they'd be so neat tucked into a wreath or garland too. Love them!
Came over from the Charmer. You "picked" the right way to make these so very attractive!

So very sweet...those crochet flowers were perfect!! Laurel
Never-ending inspiration here! I think the sunflower with white petals is my favorite -- at first I thought it was rickrack when looking at it from the front. Cute!
These are Adorable and so Whimsical!
Love them...

Excellent! I am digging through my stash of junk right now looking for my old bottle caps.
What a clever idea! And, so cute, too!
Oh my, these are beautiful! What a grand idea you got with these.
Brenda
Oh Betsy, I love these, you have the best ideas. I have never found milk caps in all of my junking...Lucky you!
Carol
Clearly you are brilliant Betsy.
Genius! I love these! You should sell these by the bouquet-ful on etsy!
Very cute. I haven't seen flowers like these before.
Great idea. Super cute.
I have a list of "to do" projects and most of them are because of ideas you've posted ....and I've just added another! Love it!!!
Thank you for this post, it gave me some inspiration for some wooden nickels I recently came across.
Thanks so much for stopping by The Cozy Old Farmhouse and leaving a sweet comment (I'm terribly behind on replying so you may not even remember it, lol!)
Do you have some collection for fabric designs of flowers for mother's day?
Oh how clever! They look awesome!
