That is a very unique idea. I love it. And it will certainly last forever. It's great because of all the different colors you can use.
Where can you find these tops ?Everything we have here is plastic like the milk caps
Flametide,
If you google bottle caps online there are several place to buy them. They are used by people who make their own beer. Also check with a bartender. They always have bottle caps.
