My Better Half got me this pincushion for Christmas. He saw me eyeballing it at the store and went back and got it for me.
Little did he know, I was eyeballing it because I wanted to make one like it.
So, as much as I appreciated the thoughtfulness, I still wanted to make one. So, here’s what I did.
Using a jar lid from some peanut butter, I measured the rim of the lid and cut a piece of cardstock the same length and width and then a piece of material a little bigger.
I hot glued the material to the piece of cardstock and then set it aside.
Then I traced the top of the jar and cut out a circle. I took some stuffing out of an old pillow we weren’t using anymore and cut out a piece of material about twice as big as the top of the jar.
I then laid the circle on the top of the stuffing and then hot glued the material to the circle.
Finally, I took the strip that I made at the beginning and glued it around the rim of the jar lid.
Blessings,
What a handy idea. Yours turned out great
I like the idea. I plan to make one. Thank you for sharing.
these are so cute, I would love one by my ironing board I hope you'll add this and any of your other posts to my What We Wore and Made party over at http://raegunwear.blogspot.com/search/label/WWWMW
I love the fact that you combined the storage WITH the cushion…and actually I like yours better! Don't tell hubby though…that was sweet of him to get it for you.
Great idea to reuse the batting!
Great idea. I love how you have all your pins and pincushion all together. I NEED to make one for me.
You won me over with your choice of fabric. I used the same fabric to make a kitchen valance. You obviously have very good taste. Cute project. Thanks for sharing.
love this, I have some fabric just like this. I am going to decoupage some furniture with it. Kathy
That is a great idea and a wonderful tutorial! What are you doing with the one hubs got you? 😉
He returned it and got me something different! I was going to keep it but he insisted!
I keep putting off making a pincushion – I love this idea! I don't think I have any extra pillows but I have regular cottonwool. I've also heard you can dry out used coffee grounds and use those in a pincushion – I haven't tried it but it sure sounds interesting (and frugal!). I love the fabric you chose too, it would go perfectly in my home!
cute! I need a new pin cushion. All I have is a tiny red one that goes on your wrist but I never wear it because I get poked.
I am going to try making one of these sometime
This is a very good blog! I have enjoyed reading it very much and will book mark the site. I hope you continue with the excellent posts. Enjoy
