Recycling is Too Much Fun!

by Patricia Gilbanks

OMG—these slay me. These are featured on a new crafting magazine and blog put out by Connecticut's own Taunton Press. They are made from bottle caps and felt. I used to save bottle caps for counting games for my son Noah when he was little but now he is counting girlfriends — but no worries! I have a new little obsession. Good for those times when I need to lighten up and have to wait at the doctor's office or some such. For the instructions go to http://www.craftstylish.com/item/945/how-to-make-pretty-pincushions. They were created by Jen Segrest; the photo is by Scott Phillips. I would use dryer lint for the fill. (Don't laugh: my sister Jacque uses it for pillow fill.)
