  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    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.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Sew a running stitch around the edge of your circle.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Put a handful of stuffing in the middle.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    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.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    Fill your bottle cap with some hot glue.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Plop your cushion in there and push it down to make sure it is good and stuck.

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    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.

  8. Step 8

    Step 8

    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. =]
