When Creativity Knocks FAVEulous Find of the Week: Clever Pin Cushions

Posted by Ana on October 5th, 2009 at 10:17am

I love sewing! One of the challenges for sewers is to keep their “pins in check”. There are all kinds of pincushions on the market from the old standard red tomato to the magnetic ones. Don’t settle for one of those! Here are a couple very clever pin cushions that you can create from items found around the house.

Look in the back or your cupboards and pull out those old Egg Cups! Christina Lane Has designed this cute pin cushion using an Egg Cup!
Here are her step by step directions.

ANA’s TIP: Use Elmer’s Painters to personalize the egg cup: Meg’s Pins (add any name) and or add some dots, hearts and flowers.

Here is another clever pincushion idea from When Creativity Knocks. Before you though away your soda liter bottles save those lids! I show you how to make this adorable Finger Flower Pincushion from the lids!
