Corona Salt and Pepper Shakers

We recently went out to eat at a Mexican Food Restaurant, which is a treat for us because we don't go out to eat very often. My husband reached for the salt and pepper shakers and poured some over his food. He exclaimed!  " Now, these are some salt and pepper shakers!"  So I examined the lid and knew drilling small holes in bottle caps would work just as well. I purchased the salt and pepper shakers from the restaurant for $4.00. I went out today looking for bottle caps for this instructable and could not find any. I decided to go ahead and post this instrucatble simulating how to make them. 

Supplies

You can use regular bottle caps and drill the holes yourself or order them here with the holes pre-drilled.

Drill the holes in the bottle caps the size and number you want.
I gave 2 shakes to each shaker and you can see how much came out using the purchased caps. 
We thought they worked great!

Filling the Bottles

Fill the bottles using a funnel or what you have on hand.

There you have it! 2 very usable shakers that work great using glass beer bottles or what ever you like and some bottle caps.
