9 plastic bottle caps
2 tiny goggle eyes or black permanent marker to draw eyes
red permanent marker or red craft to make the smile features
glue
felt
magnet
If you have bottle caps in the right colors, this project will be very simple to put together. However, if you don't have the right colors, you can use craft paint to paint the bottle caps in the colors that you need.
2-1/2 inch fabric circle
1" plastic bottle cap
small amount of stuffing
pregathered lace
sewing thread
one large screw and screwdriver
glue gun and glue sticks or fabric glue
Instructions:
1. Cut 2-1/2" fabric circle and sew pregathered lace around the edge, with right sides of fabric and lace facing, overlapping the lace ends by 1/2".
2. On the back of the circle, machine or hand sew gathering stitches around the seam. Pull thread to gather the circle evenly to approximately 1-1/2" and fasten off thread.
3. Stuff the gathered circle with fibrefill, cotton balls or other soft stuffing.
4. Punch two holes in the bottle cap - I used a large screw and screwdriver, forcing the screw into the cap and then unscrewing it to leave each hole large enough for the elastic.
5. Thread elastic through the two holes, leaving enough to make a ring for your finger protruding from the top of the bottle cap. Tie the ends of the elastic off in a secure knot on the inside of the bottle cap.
6. Glue pincushion to the rim of the bottle cap with hot glue or craft glue.
