Materials: Resin, quarter or 1" hole punch, decorative paper (magazine, scrapbook, printed picture, etc.), glue, confetti or glitter (optional), tights, scissors, washer(s), neomagnet(s), and bottlecap(s).
Cut out your circles using a quarter to trace and cut a 1" circle or a hole punch from a local craft store.
If you use a quarter, be sure to trim inside the line and check it to the bottlecap to fit it properly.
Add a small amount of glue to the back of the paper or into the cap and press the paper circle into the bottlecap.
Mix the resin according to the package instructions. It is 1:1 ratio for mixing. Fill the cap no more than halfway with the resin. Allow 24 hours to dry.
Cut off the leg of tights. Discard the foot and panty part. I suggest go to a queen in size for adult chokers. I used a small size from the womens' department and it really is a choker! Cut a 1" band off the top of the leg.
Pull on the band a bit to stretch it out, and it will roll up automatically.
Push the loop through the washer.
The smaller part that you pushed through the washer will go through the larger loop.
Pull tight.
Add your magnet to the back of the bottlecap. Don't use the black ceramic ones.
Go to your local hardware or department store that carries magnets and get a Neo Magnet. These magnets are really strong. They are slim in design and silver. Glue this to the back of the bottlecap and let it dry completely.
Add the two together.
And you are ready to wear it. Make as many bottlecaps as you want and swap them out!
