SUPPLIES


Lid from plastic soda bottles.


Large Pom Pom (mine were at least 1 3/8 in diameter.)


3/8 Elastic strip about. 3 in length.


Hot Glue Gun


Extras: Ribbon, Ric Rac, jewels, buttons etc.
The pom pom must be large enough to squeeze into the lid and give a nice puffy, thick surface. The 1 size is too small. The one's shown measured about 1 3/8 which "might" be considered 1 1/2 size. (I purchased mine in a large bag of mixed sizes.) The lids come in a variety of colors or you could also spray paint them if desired.
Add hot glue to your lid.

    Why 3 inches of elastic? My fattest finger - and, trust me, they are all fat! - only measures a bit more than 1 inch. Even allowing for the glues ends, it shouldn't take more than 2 inches, by my calculations.

    I use my in my sewing box for straight pins also add elastic long enough to fit around the base neck of sewing machine - position it in front so its handy to reach or velcro the bottom And stick it onto the base or end of machine . They make cute mini pin cushion for a guild retreat gift or quilting friends
