Beer, beir, beeru, call it what you will, it’s good stuff. Even after you have finishing your pints you can still get lasting pleasure from your golden suds. It all has to do with the careful application of hot glue and magnets.
Step one, collect some beer bottle caps, old magnets (mine are from a dry erase board), a knife or clippers, and a hot glue gun.
Make sure your bottle caps are flat. Beer might not be good flat but the bottle caps look better that way.
Next you will need some magnets. I used old plastic flex-o-mags from the Monopole Magnetic Corp (OK, I made that up). But you can use anything that will fit or be made to fit. Don’t try to cut super magnets or ceramic magnets, you will hurt yourself and your friends will laugh.
Mark about where the magnet will be under the cap.
I knew I was going to be trimming the magnets so I allowed for a bit of space.
Trim…
Trim some more so it will be the best fit.
Now the fun part. Fill the cap up with got glue. Make sure you use enough to let the magnet ride a little high in the cap. You don’t want to have the magnet below the edge of the cap or you will scratch the hell out of what ever you place it on. Trust me, you don’t want to mess up your fridge or cubicle wall with heavy heavy scratches.
Finished! Yes, they work.
Now you can relax and start collecting some more raw material for your next round of magnets. 🙂
