1. First, you need to punch a hole in the bottle cap. Find a hard surface (a sturdy table or concrete floor), decide where you want the nail holes to be, and position the tip of the cone from the inside of the bottle cap. Hammer the end of the awl so that the tip passes through the cap, leaving a hole.
