Bottled Up by Sam

Hi! I’m Sam, the creative force behind Bottled Up by Sam.

After finishing graduate school, I found myself with a bit of free time between work and vocal practice. I had been collecting bottle caps for a while with the idea of using them for crafts, and one day, on a whim, I thought, “Why not turn these into earrings?”

That spark of inspiration quickly turned into a joyful obsession. I began sharing my creations on Facebook, and before long, people were noticing, liking, commenting, and even complimenting me on the street. Then, during a Pride Parade, someone asked if they could buy a pair right off of me.

And just like that, Bottled Up by Sam was born. Fueled by creativity, community, and a deep love for turning everyday materials into wearable art.
