The bottle caps cannot be reused to recap the bottle but they do not have to end up in the trash. 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 playing with the magín. Make them a fundamental piece or use them as a wink in our creative recycling projects.
Although imagination can help us 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 prominence , either 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 plates , the possibilities are expanded, both to make jewelry the sea of original (look at the necklace in the image that opens the post) and to line tables, photo frames, mirrors or to make your own coasters.
Using the sheets to make mobiles for the garden or balcony or to create singing and multicolored curtains are other interesting options.
Games for children and adults
Playing pin is a game of yesteryear. It is true that at any moment playing pin can become fashionable and relive its best times, but it will most likely be ephemeral.
Be that as it may, we do not need it to be fashionable to have a great time playing pins , 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 propelling the plate with the index and ring fingers , at home or on the street, on the carpet, in the hallway, always looking for the soil is a uniform surface.
Collecting in times of crisis
Collecting badges is an interesting hobby as such, not so much for its monetary value which, except for some highly sought after badges, is minimal, but for 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 trip and visit to breweries to collaborate. In these cases, the collection will be more valuable the better preserved the plates are, also known as crown caps.

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 an artisan board , another creative way of Recycle.
Drawing a letter or numbers on each of the badges also allows you to play and learn at the same time, in this case forming words or short phrases , placing the numbers one by one or doing additions. The smallest of the house will learn and enjoy.
