Bottle Cap Chore Chart

Last month, I went to my little sister’s college graduation. While I was visiting her dorm, she hands me a mound of beer bottle caps and says, “You’re creative… think you can do something with these?” Ordinarily, I can’t DIY upon command, but after a few minutes, I had created some bottle cap coasters which would have been fine as long as no one put a glass...

When you move twice in one year, you are bound to lose a few...
