Bottlecap Pincushions - USA

These are totally adorable. I am the only one having visions of little cupcakes here? I also love the fried egg on the website.

I would love to join this swap. Could you do an international one as well? The pincushions will be so light the postage should be a reasonable cost.

i would love to do an international one as well

These are WAY too cute! I can't wait to get started.

Have a look on flickr at even more bottlecap pincushions. They are adorable! There are tutorials on here to make mushrooms, ladybugasand african violets as well. http://www.flickr.com/photos/verybigjen/collections/72157594588116047/

Rochelle~ Thanks for your post and link! Aren't they adorable...Ithink I am going to get addicted. I love the "ladybug" ones too!

I live in the U.S. and would be fine even more inclined to join if it were international.

Another vote for international. :)

Adorable! I'm watching this one...

All those swappers who would like to do an international one: Let me get this one all wrapped up and then I will host an international one. Thanks for all the interest!

These are fun to do. I got lucky and my partner was verybigjen the one who created them. She also has a book out to. She made me a ladybug one.

Thanks biasbabe for the link. These are so cute!! I'm wondering if tops off 20 oz drinks would work, or does it have to be 2 liter?

I made one today with a 20oz. top. I don't know if there's a size difference with a 2l top. In any case, mine came out great. I'd post a picture on Flickr, but I already gave it away. :)

The 20 oz. bottlecaps are just fine! I used several of them already and they are the same. Have fun creating!

I bought a 20oz Diet Coke today and noticed there IS a difference in those caps! I don't know if it's across the board with all Coke products, but in this case, the cap was very short - maybe half the height of the cap from the Mt. Dew I used yesterday.

Yes, some of the 20 oz. tops are a quite a bit smaller...but some are about the same size. Please just use the top's that are about the same as the 2 liters.

Yep, I noticed they've changed the size of the 20 oz caps, so I bought 4 2 liter cokes today. I drink way too much coke, I'd hate to admit how much I do drink, lol. Anyway, now I'll have my 2 liter caps ready to give this a try:) Gonna take the plunge and go ahead and get signed up before it's too late:)

You know what? They have also changed the size of the 2 liter caps, atleast all that I'm finding. They are only barely larger now than the new 20 oz caps. Sure hope these will work ok. I didn't check the size of pepsi products, didn't even think of that. I'll check them out tomorrow:)

I have a little cheater trick - you guys are all so smart you have probably already figured it out but.....when you are trying to sew the felt around the bottle cap and keep the bottle cap in place to use as a guide it is a pain and slips a lot.....little bit of fabric glue is awesome.. ;)

Thanks cass for the tip. I haven't made my first one yet, but good to hear this bit of advice ahead of time:)

hi! that's my work on that pic and link! I should probably joint his swap eh?

yeah granny, pepsi caps are good, not coke! I sell some in my artfire and etsy stores if you need some!
