Pincushion made from a plastic bottle cap

[Handmade] Pincushion Made from a Plastic Bottle Cap / How to Make a Pincushion

Here’s how to make a cute pincushion using a plastic bottle cap.

It’s really handy to have a little spot to stick your sewing needles and pins.

You’ll need a plastic bottle cap, fabric scraps, lace, thread, glue, and stuffing.

First, use the bottom of a cup (about 5–7 cm in diameter) to trace a circle onto the fabric, add a seam allowance, cut it out, and stuff it with filling.

Glue fabric around the outside of the bottle cap.

Attach felt to the bottom of the cap, then attach the stuffed cushion piece to the top of the cap to finish.

A rabbit plush made from fleece

[100-Yen Handmade] Easy Palm-Sized Bunny Plushie Made from Fleece

Using fleece fabric that looks and feels soft, let’s make a palm-sized stuffed bunny.

The key is how you construct the body: cut the fabric into the shape you want, embroider the facial expression, sew the pieces together, then stuff them with cotton and shape as you go.

The way you stuff it will change the overall roundness and softness, so it’s a good idea to focus on this to create your own unique bunny.

After that, attach parts like the hands, feet, and ears, and finish it so it looks like a bunny, and you’re done.

It can also be fun to change the fabric color and the shapes of the parts to add originality.
