what kind of new trend is that? ebay is full of bottlecap beads.

No idea but it sure is strange since bottle caps can be sharp and painful.

When was the last time you saw a bottle with a bottlecap in the grocery
store? Except for beer, the bottlecap is an endangered species, and is
becoming "collectible."

I also saw all the bottlecap beads on eBay, but I assumed they use the
bottle cap as a mold to flute the edges and the finished piece doesn't
actually contain the bottle cap.

It is strange how something like that can appear out of "nowhere".
With all the experienced cutting-edge beaders around it's odd not to
have heard of them before and suddenly they are everywhere!

I've seen 'blank' bottlecaps at the craft stores.

Ah! I remember! Scrapbookers use them as decorations on scrapbook
pages. (Although WHY, exactly, I'll never know...)

Actually I get them on sodas quite often, the ginger ales I had last week
had them and I bought those at Ralphs (a big chain). Many small bottlers
still use them.
