My friend’s birthday is coming up and I want to make her bracelets and things out of caps of classic old coke bottles. I’ve already gotten the caps, but I can’t figure out how I’d make the jewelry. I know that it’s possible to make bracelets from the insides of the caps (I have yet to be able to perfect it), but I’m talking about the actual caps. Drilling holes might work, but I don’t have a fancy drill or anything.
You don’t need a drill
Just use a hammer and a nail to pierce your bottle caps.
I found a Youtube video that shows you how to make bottle cap charms:

You can make earrings, pins, magnets and necklaces too:

There are so many ways to use bottlecaps! Here’s some more:

2010 Mar 06 2Susan is right. You may proceed with any tools you have at home and adjust the designs for your tools.
As for bottle caps jewelry, I recommend getting inspired by the great work of Yoav Kutik:
