Patience is the key to all good work, as a Super Mario fan has proved with his [Princess Peach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/princess-peach-x-oreoid-packs) bottle cap portrait. This amazing work of art was created with -- you guessed it -- bottle caps.

‘Instructables’ user Skeplin had collected approximately 1,000 bottle caps in 26 colors to fabricate this dazzling 3D artwork within a few months' time. With the simple use of glue, bottle caps and a 28 x 35 grid, the Princess Peach bottle cap portrait came to life as an amazing tribute to one of the [greatest games of all time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-boy-set).
