You Will Need (6 things)

  • Fabric
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Stuffing
  • Bottle Caps
  • Optional Ribbon
  • Needle And Thread

Steps (8 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 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. 2

    Sew a running stitch around the edge of your circle.

  3. 3

    Put a handful of stuffing in the middle.

  4. 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. 5

    Fill your bottle cap with some hot glue.

  6. 6

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

  7. 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. 8

    Sometimes I also like to attach ribbon and some velcro and make it a bracelet so my pin cushion is always handy.
