Great Gift Ideas: mini pincushions

I'm in love with this quick and easy tutorial on making tiny little pincushions.  In 20 minutes I whipped up 2 and I'm addicted.  I wish I had more pins so I could make even more (I'm sure I'll find an excuse).     They're an adorable gift for the crafter in your life.  As a bonus they reuse all those bottle caps that you otherwise toss out.


 
The cap on the left is from a Pepsi product.  For that I found 5/8" ribbon was the perfect size.
On the right is a Coke product cap.  It's a bit smaller and 3/8" ribbon was the size that fit best.

Heck, stick some catnip in it and it could be a great cat toy (we all know how cats love bottle caps).
