Use plastic and metal bottle caps and jar lids to make these fun ornaments!

Materials:
bottlecaps and jar lids felt, flannel or some other soft fabric

small stitchings to fit on the caps

Step 1:
Cut circles of the felt or flannel to fit the tops of the bottle caps and glue them on.

Step 2:
Cut the stitched pieces an inch or so beyond the size of the cap. Then do a running stitch about 1/8th of an inch from the edge. Put the cap inside the circle and pull the thread tight, center the stitching and tie a knot.

To make the fabric tighter over the cap sew across the back of the fabric until the fabric is sewn in place.

Step 3:
You can add a band around the cap, so the wrinkles in the fabric aren't noticeable. Then sew on beads or add a little embroidery around the edge of the cap.
