Bottle Cap Project (The Pen Basket)

First we began by collecting bottle caps of different sizes and colors, then we used a tack to poke holes in the middle of the cap. We then used needle and thread to sew the caps together using a triangular grid pattern. Once we had enough to connect the caps together to form a circle, we then attached them to a cardboard base using the same sewing method. This gave us or basket shape! Our product can be placed on desks, table tops, counters, etc. it can hold pens, markers, crayons, and any writing utensil. It is an useful and unique object to have.
