Because I am a BIG BELIEVER in encouraging young girls to dream, I am thrilled to feature Georgia (Age 12) and Macy (10-corrected) who recently started Bottle Cap Beauties made out of customized bottle caps. You can choose your own paper, design, initials, etc. Each necklace is $6; each additional bottle cap is $2. They also have Scrabble letter tiles available for the same price.
Leave a comment by Saturday, October 9 and you will be eligible to win (1) of (2) customized necklaces or bracelets with up to three bottlecaps. Here are some sample bottlecaps and sample papers. (P.S. One of the gifts is courtesy Georgia and Macy, the other is my treat!)
Below are some questions that I asked Georgia. The answers are in her own words with some minor spelling edits by me.
How did you get the idea for these necklaces?
My friend in Colorado had the idea first and said that it would be cool if we had the same busseness but in different states. So we share ideas and have lots of fun!!!!!!!
Any suggestions for mothers who want to buy something for their daughters?
These neckleases are very unique; the design you pick should match you/your daughters' personality. You can put up to 4 letters on each bottle cap. Most people do their first initial. You can have as many bottle caps as you want. I also do Scrabble tiles.
***
I love Georgia's exuberance. She thought this would be fun; she knows she loves art (note that she was perfectly comfortable saying she was good at this), invited her sister to join in (asked her mother for help who initially reached out to me), and off she went.
Will you now leave a comment - whether you plan on winning or not (the gift is transferable), and tell Georgia and Macy -- ATTA GIRLS!



So fun! And clearly, I love Macy's name. :) Congrats, girls!

(I liked the first comment!)
That's such a fun idea. Way to go, girls! And like Whitney, I loved your confidence in yourself and your pursuit. Congrats on your success.

Love this!! You had a great idea --- and now you're making it happen. I think it would be fun to get a matching bracelet for me and my 6 year old daughter.

Happy to see that Georgia and Macy found a way to run a business doing something creative that they love. My girls just said about an hour ago how fashionable and cute these girls are.

Wow, how fun to know you're so great at something. They're very, very cute. I don't even have girls, and am so appreciative of their uniqueness and charm.

Couldn't be more proud of these two adorable girls! The jewelry reflects their personalities and passion. I am not at all prejudiced I am their MiMi

Georgia and Macy what beautiful, fun jewelry! You really are creative and artistic. I bet everyone who wears your jewelry feels a little happier with those great designs!
Posted by: Maria | October 06, 2010 at 09:24 AM
I think a lot of girls have this kind of creativity...but few have the drive to actually turn it into a business. Way to go, Georgia and Macy! I'd ask them these questions: What will you do with your profits and do you think you'll still be in business in another year?
Posted by: Pam | October 06, 2010 at 11:27 PM
I have a niece that would love these. Great idea.
Posted by: Allison | October 07, 2010 at 10:49 PM
I'm way late, but had to say how beautiful these are!! Way to go, Georgia & Macy!!

Found and everyday objects with form following function make for the most creative works. Keep up the enthusiasm, it really shines in these lovely bracelets. Nice job!

That's cool! I am a BIG BELIEVER in encouraging young girls to dream too :)
