Instructions
- Clean the bottle caps: Be sure to clean the bottle caps properly so they shine before you can use them to build the table. To do this, you can use mineral spirits and a coarse sandpaper. Also, make sure you remove the sharp edges of the bottle caps.

- Build the tabletop: The next step is to build the tabletop. For this, you will need to cut the wood board that you have purchased to the shape and size you desire. Once the board is ready, you can then use wood glue and white glue to secure the bottle caps to the board.
