I work at a special school in Australia - thank you for the glue suggestion- have tried many glues! I am writing you to thank you and suggest a purple lid source for your purple shortage, if you have any contacts with special needs school staff, the students who rely on tube feeds have purple lids on their liquid meal bottles.sure they would save them for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501308597522720818.post-62001487417504903362015-09-25T09:55:19.334-05:002015-09-25T09:55:19.334-05:00if you look at all my bottle cap posts(click on bo...if you look at all my bottle cap posts(click on bottle cap mural in the word cloud to the right)..you can get the brand.

After the first drive, I realized some colors were very rare! Knowing my design, and the availability of certain colors, I assigned point values to different colors for the second drive. I actually had students who tried to paint the caps to get more points!<br /><br />http://artabroad.blogspot.com/2011/06/bottlecap-mania.htmlStephanie Melachrinoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002956070245992168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501308597522720818.post-29972206409165578752011-09-24T22:08:24.526-05:002011-09-24T22:08:24.526-05:00So awesome!
