Hi there, i recently finished my first bottlecap pincushion!! ATM i do not have any for me and i thought what fun it would be to make some! This is for beginners, but all are welcomed! Just keep in mind that this is a beginners swap AND you will/may get a beginning item!

This is great to use up your scrap fabric :) Have fun with it!

RULES

Make a profile bottlecap pincushion. Can be something as simple as stated favorite colors, design of fabric, or extra shapes (detail) added to them!

Use the soda bottle caps!! They are a great size :)

This is alot of effort! NO newbies. MUST HAVE 10 completed (non-email, non-post card) swaps. NO recent 1's I WILL check before partners, and ban who i need to.

Please also include a TINY, SMALL suprise with the nice Bottlecap pincushion! Keep it small thats a goal!

No late senders please, PM partner and ME if you feel you have fallen behind though!

PS that picture up there shows some talent! please dont base that off of the one you make, or receive!

I just recently discovered these and have made three so far. I don't drink soda, so I have used other size bottle caps, but I'm sure I can get a soda cap from someone at work. The flickr tutorial in the above post is terrific. I'm so excited!

I am getting all my bottle caps from family and friends! The same size also comes off of water bottles also!

Keep looking on the flickr--she has some really great finished creations too!

Good to hear you are excited! Here is a needlebook

Does anyone have a tutorial website for making these? I have a ton of bottle caps that I could use for this. (We save the coca cola ones for the coke rewards program and only drink bottled water). But I need tutorials for new crafts otherwise I am all thumbs. :(

this is inspiring! love the photo, totally made me decide to join this swap! plus, i'll make myself one while i'm at it. i guess a pin cushion would be better than sticking my needle in the side of the couch when i'm hemming! ha!

I think I could manage to do this. I'm going to try my hand at it and join if it comes out okay. In the meantime, I hope to finish two more swaps so I can join!! On my watch list for now!
