I made these 3 little bottle cap pincushions last night for another F.A.T. exchange. These exchanges are so much fun -- they are quick, inexpensive, easy to mail -- and a delightful break from the 'larger' projects.
Hmnn, hadn't thought about it -- a small box is obvious -- or may use a medicine/vitamin bottle to put the pin cushion in then wrap the bottle in bubble wrap and put in an envelope. The wrapping for shipping may be more of a challange than the making of these little items.
these are soooo cute~~I would love to make a few as Christmas gifts, but I am NOT very "crafty" at all~~ is there any insructions online to make these ? Thanks!!! And once again~~~these are just too cute!
Marion what pleasant memories these bring back to me. I made these several years ago and before I put the pincushion part in I used a skewer and placed a hole in the centre and added a piece of half inch elastic, enough to stretch around a finger and they were the cutest finger cushions, yours are precious. Hugs Linda
Nice of me to call you Marian. I was reading an email at the same time you were thanking Marina. Oh Jackie I need to take a break, but I am sure I am forgiven. Hugs Linda

wonderful work! how do you mail them? so far I've only mailed mostly flat fiber pieces for the FAT group.
