Soda Lid Photo Pendant

My hubby drinks Ale-8 like its going out of style!  Okay so if you are not a native of KY then you may not be aware of Ale-8, wow its BIG around here!!! So I found a use for all those pesky metal pop lids.  I make pendants and magnets from them!!!  Very easy, just use the lid to trace around an interesting part of some old photos. Make sure you don't mind cutting them up.  I used photos that were duplicates or that had some printing issues.  I chose a pelican (from a Florida trip), a pic of my son holding a toy, a picture of one of my paintings and a pic of some wedding flowers.  Paint your lid inside and out in a color to compliment one of the photos.  Let the lids dry.  Glue the circle photos into the corresponding lids using mod podge or E-6000 glue.  If you want to make these into magnets then all you do is buy the magnet strips and attach to backs.  For a pendant you can use some craft wire (in a coordinating color) and glue to outside of lid.  After that is dry make a loop in the wire as shown in the image and you now have a nice pendant for a necklace!!!! You can go a step further and add resin to the inside of the lids. :)
