Really wanna try these but I do not trust my ability to paint that small dude
simple tutorial on how to make those bottlecap buttons you see everywhere
you'll need:
bottlecap•soda tab•safety pin•pliers•sandpaper/file•paint/paint markers/smth to decorate with•clear nail polish
remove the print on the buttons using a file or the sandpaper
(if you wanna keep the print skip this step, use a cloth to protect the print from scratches when folding down the sides of the cap)
fold down opposing sides of the cap, to help add in the safety pin
bend the tab at a slight angle, insert it into the cap. make sure the side of the safety pin that can not open is the one stuck under the tab
fold down one side of the cap to lock the tab in place, then try and press the tab as flat as you can, to lock the safety pin in place (prevents the buttons from moving on the safety pin, if you like rattling buttons, skip this step)
fold down all other sides of the cap
cover the button in one or more base layers of paint
add ur design (i use paint or paint markers for good coverage and vibrant colors)
cover that in one or two layers of nail polish, it will protect the button from rain and the paint from cracking
thats it, lemme know if you want tutorials on anything else, i like making em.
Two random designs I did yesterday. Didn't even measure out the "WEIRD!" one. Just opened up a bottle of paint and started squirting it everywhere. We getting wild and I may or may not have an addiction to slapping splattered designs all over anything I can get my grubby fingers on. Or maybe I just have a crappy diy addiction in general. I spent 60$ on spikesandstuds.com last night. Haha.
Anyway, pretty satisfied with these.

Another young Jesus Freak.
When I was watching the new movie Jesus Revolution I noticed the awesome art work on the character Lonnie Frisbee’s jacket.
It reminded me of my own that I made after I was saved in highschool. I was full of passion and burden to share Jesus with my campus and anyone else that would listen.
That zeal spilled out into the streets of downtown Portland in nights of sharing Christ with the homeless, skinheads, King Diamond concerts, gutter punks, cults and normies. I cut my ministry teeth on wild times of glory and Fire with brothers and sisters overcome with the love of Jesus.
We were a mess of broken but resurrected young people. Immature, but reclaimed by Jesus. Sinners becoming the saints God had made, confused on a lot but courageous and full of conviction that fueled our zealous lives.
Our tribe of young Jesus freaks pursued the Lord through communal life together, hosting Bible studies, prayer and worship times, campus witnessing, concerts, late night Shari’s God talk and coffee guzzling, door to door evangelism and when we had extra time we’d go…to church services too.
