No-sew pin cushion from plastic bottle cap

Here's how to make no-sew pin cushions out of those pesky plastic bottle caps that we can't recycle.

No-sew pincushion

1. You will need a plastic bottle cap, coloured felt, polyfill, UHU glue and a pair of scissors.

2. Cut a circular piece of felt a little larger than the bottom of your bottle cap.

3. Cut a rectangular piece of felt that can wrap around the sides of your bottle cap.
