Capybaras - which I first got to know as “carpinchos” in Argentina - are one of my favorite critters! Since I stitch more than I accessorize 
, I turned this cute enamel pin into a needleminder.
I cut the pins off then glued a magnet in between where they had been.
What a clever way to reuse something darling like that!
Cute and funny!!!
They are my absolute favorite animals! Love this upcycle.
I love your needle minders! Is that magnet 2 magnets or a base metal disk with a magnet attached? I can’t quite translate it from the pic.
Thanks so much!
Ah, yes. It is two magnets. I use a wide one glued to the back to make more magnetic surface area for the needle and the stubby one so it’s easier to grab/remove.
So great! For a second I thought you crafted the whole pin and I thought, woooaaahhh!
Cute!
Aww, thank you!
What a great idea!
Absolutely darling! 
I love capybaras, too. They are so strange and cute. Turning this pin into a needle-minder was a great choice, and you’ve done it very neatly and smoothly.
Thanks so much!
This is so cute!
