​Man Collects Bottle Caps For 5 Years To Redo His Kitchen, And Here’s The Result

One guy designed and built a custom bottle cap bar top that would become the centerpiece of any room.

He and his friends and family saved 2,530 beer caps over 5 years specifically for this project. The caps belong to domestic, craft, and import drinks.

“The initial concept was to lay out an image comprised of bottle caps,” he said. “Then reality set in and we opted for the much easier gradient effect.” The selected sequence is called ROYGBIV (a sequence of hues, commonly described as making up a rainbow: rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet).

It took at least 4 hours and several restarts to get the desired pattern. “Initially I was being pretty anal about cap alignment, color disbursement etc. In the end, we decided to introduce entropy and New Holland’s Dragon’s Milk, which I feel was the secret ingredient.” Everything was then covered with 5 layers of epoxy resin and voila! A perfect conversation starter for any indoor party.

Love this idea. A couple years back I made our son a bar top for his family room it was topped with pennies. The newer shinny pennies I used to write Lees Bar an Grill. He loves it and it was very easy. Then In our last home I used pennies to do a small wall it truly brought life to my kitchen.
