Our Finished Mural

Our bottle cap mural is finally complete! Over 1,200 caps make up this rendition of Picasso's The Dreamer. Thanks to all of the children who helped create it. Oh, and we're still collecting.

  5. Our mural is 4 x 5 feet. I thought it was a good size for our first attempt, having never done one before. Next time I want to use the entire 4 x 8 foot sheet of plywood! Thanks for all of the feedback.

  6. What did you use to attach the caps? Is it screws? Looks fantastic!

  9. 18Great use of resources. Were you ever in Girl Scouts? If so you should promote yourself to the local Girl Scout Council. They'd be crazy to not to love your work.
    This craft could also be taught to inspiring young women artists.
