OK that's it I give up! How the heck do you flatten the bottlecaps without destroying them? UGH! Anyone care to shed some light on me before I throw the hammer and the bottlecaps across the room!!:banghead::banghead::banghead:

I place the bottle cap between a dishcloth and hammer it...a mallet would be perfect...walmart has mallets for like $3-$4...:clap:

Thanks for the link--I have some bottlecaps that I bought and the seller was supposed to flatten them for me before she sent them out, but forgot--so now I can do it myself :)
