Wicked pins for every occasion!
 <  Image 1 of 3  > 

So I've got tons of bottlecaps lying around...and I mean tons. Ever since I was little I saved any I could get my hands on and stashed them in this tin. Well, I was just thinking today, I would just love to do something with them. I wanted to put them on a belt, but that didn't work so well. So it just hit me this morning.You cut out little circles of fabric, embroider it, then glue it inside the bottlecap.

I just did some simple designs, with the help of my sister and her friend. Pictures are kinda bad...sorries much.

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Put the cap down on the fabric and use a pencil or chalk to outline it on the fabric. Then just cut it out. If you did it right, it should fit right in there.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    Embroider a design of your choice on the fabric. Not much room for detail, but there is room for creativity, as always. Once you're done embroidering, glue it inside the bottlecap.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Not a great, picture I know. Here I took a paper clip and glued it to the back so it can act as a pin. Obviously if you have those pin things, just glue them on and you're one step farther than me.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Clip the little guys all over the place!
