Bottlecap Pincushion

While trawling flickr I came across this great tutorial for a bottlecap pincushion pincushion tutorial I couldn't resist and made a couple! They are so easy and so cute I have decided a swap so we can share our creations would be a great idea :)

This swap is international and open to all swappers with a rating of 4.7 and up. Newbies there is lots of time to get rated for this one.

You will make a pincushion for two partners (that's 1 pincushion each to be sent to 2 partners). They can be decorated however you like, see the creators flickr for more decorating ideas. She has done a ladybird, eyeball, flower pots, all sorts! I simply embroidered my first 2 - see accompanying picture and my flickr - but plan to get a little more creative for this swap :)

There is loads of time between signing up and the swap date to ensure you do a wonderful job of your pincushions. Please remember to rate your partners, they will work as hard as you on this swap and should be acknowledged :)

I think this will be a fantastic swap and I hope you all enjoy it!
