EDITED: Reduced to only ONE partner (so, only need to make one pincushion), and lengthened sign-up to go through the weekend.

==================================

Make 1 mini bottlecap pincushion using the following instructions as an inspiration: Handy Dandy Bottlecap Pincushion -- Here's another version by the same author but with better photos: How to Make Pretty Pincushions

Send 1 pincushion to your partner.

You may use any fabric/materials you wish as long as it includes a bottle cap, stuffing, and thread (please do not glue it together though!). Also, consider embellishing your creations to appeal to your partner (see their profile); however, embellishment is not required.

Let me know if you have questions (or if I forgot anything =)

I haven't made one yet either... but I am very excited to try making one as well. So many possibilities for decorating them ... I am really interested in seeing what everyone comes up with =)

Edited swap to only ONE partner (I just made one and it took a lot longer than I expected)... also shifted the dates by a couple of days.

This was a fun swap, can you do one for Valentine's Day?

I've been thinking of doing some other pin cushion swaps too, but I hadn't thought of doing this pattern as a themed swap; great idea! I will set it up after the holidays =)
