Description

I love to drink plastic bottle drink.
But it’s not eco-friendly..

I cam up an idea with making pin cushion using bottle cap.
From then I have made them everyday,total almost 70.
I almost sold them at craft market and consignment shops.
They’re left I have.

It’s easy to make,you can use needle at only 1 step,
or you can make it without needle and thread.

Vending machine,I’ll be counting on you.

Material Notes

cotton,linen,gauze…almost fabric materials are okay!
wool cotton,wappen,ribbon
