I don't know what this cap goes to, but I really dig it. It's a great little illustration - I like that it's printed in brown. This one's for you, Sarah T!
Look, I made a bottlecap pincushion - here it is, step by step...
I remember making one a few years ago, and it struck me, it would look cute with a patchwrk flower on the top.
And so I made a patchwork flower from ½inch hexies.
Stitched it to a circle of thin corduroy.
Glued another circle of corduroy to a orange juice bottle with my glue gun. Love my power tool :-). Folded the excess fabric into the centre of the cap.
Then - a running stitch around the perimeter of the first circle.
Drew the string and stuffed the 'bag' firmly with polyester fluff. Held the little bag of fluff tight to the bottle cap, as I stitched around it. And voila - a muffin :-)
Then I made a strap, 1 cm wide - and cut two snippets of velcro. Placed the muffin in the middle of the strap, stitched it to the strap. Measured the length of the strap around my wrist - and then stitched the velcro to the ends of the straps - one on the inside of the strap, the other on the outside.
I foldede the ends of the strap under the velcro.
And there it was - a patchworkmuffin - or, a bottlecap pincushion to go!

This cap just cracks me up! I know I bought this (becasue I have the bottle somewhere, too), but I can't remember if it's lemon-lime or what.
When I recycle plastic bottles they ask to have caps removed, they crush easier that way. I save these big plastic bottles from work - they are pretzel jars. This one took about 8 weeks to fill - I bring all the plastic bottles from my group home to recycle so they don't end up in a landfill.

Was walking around the local Fuglsang Lake with my kids today, and we found no less than 59 bottle caps! A scary amount, especially considering that it's off season.
We brought the bottle caps home, washed them and now keep them in a glass jar to remind us how not to act.
Fuglsang lake is located in Herning, Denmark and there is a 2.5 km walk around it
I used a hole punch on some old Christmas paper (left) and an old greeting card (right), then adhered it to bottle caps. Could be used as jewelry (earrings, perhaps), or as ornaments for the tree.
