-
Cut out a circle of your fabric. I like to use a ribbon spool for measurement but you can kinda just eyeball it depending on how plump you want your pin cushion.
-
Sew a running stitch around the edge of your circle.
-
Put a handful of stuffing in the middle.
-
Gently pull your stitches to tighten the fabric around the stuffing. Make sure you push your fabric down while you pull so it all gets in there.
-
Fill your bottle cap with some hot glue.
-
Plop your cushion in there and push it down to make sure it is good and stuck.
-
Now you can either leave it as is or cover the bottle cap. I like to use ribbon but you can also use fabric or paint the bottle cap. Whatever your mind can up with really. The possibilities are endless.
-
Sometimes I also like to attach ribbon and some velcro and make it a bracelet so my pin cushion is always handy.

Haha. I made one of these when I was like 8 or 9 and I just saw it the other day. (yes I still have it after like 12/13 years!) I was thinking it would be great to make a new one and do a tutorial, you saved me some effort! Mine has a hole drilled in the bottom with a small piece of elastic looped through it so it goes around your finger tho. =]
