I really like this project!!! It looks yummy!!! Like a Cupcake!!! I used this cap from a liquid detergent bottle.
I cut a piece of felt about 6inches in diameter and did a running stich around the edge of the circle.
I put some Aleen's Tacky glue around the cap. It's not a good pic (came out blurry) but you can see the glue around the outside edges and rim of the cap.
I put some quilt batting in the bottle cap and inside the felt and pulled gently on the thread to draw it together. I fit it on the bottle and pulled it as tight as it could go. Don't pull too hard or you might burst the thread! That's what I did the first time and had to stitch it all over again!! When you have it tight enough around the cap, finish off the stitching.
Using a tool such as what I have shown here, (you can use a bone folder or stylus or even your scissors blade,anything that you can use), I tucked the edges down along the rim of the cap. If you don't have enough glue, lift up the felt a bit and add more glue. I let it set for a while before embellishing it.
Here's my yummy cupcake pincushion embellished with velvet ribbon and stickles to look like sprinkles!
