How the Cap Became the Capple

Josie and I started out with a bunch of different ideas for the caps, some better than others. It did not take us long to decide that we wanted to further evolve Josie's cap/critter idea...





In order to make the capples have limbs, we needed wire. Convieniently, Josie never threw away her time capsule project in which we recycled the wire from. There is a large amount of recycled wire in the world, so there were no reservations in using the material.



The Capple-Making Process




Using pliers, we twisted the wire to make arms and legs

We pierced holes in the bottle caps using a push pin. If the holes needed to be larger, we would do so with pliers.










The capples were a pleasure to make. We both discussed that, even though they are not a necessity, they bring a smile to people's faces and they add life to a boring space. They are simple in material, but complex in how they impact people. Josie and I are very proud of our little creations!!
