Ready for a project that will keep you on pins and needles?
Well, it's Monday.. so let's get our craft on!
I totally stole the inspiration for this simple idea from Pinterest... since it fits my style for super.fast.stupid.easy do.it.yourself projects.
Supplies needed:
Mason jar with detached lids
Stuffing fluff or Steel Wool (which I hear makes your pins stay sharp!)
Cut circle of fabric
Glue Gun/Sticks
Hot glue the circle of fabric under the bottom of the mason jar lid.. gathering it as you go around. Leave a gap to stuff your fluff - or steel wool - into the topside of the lid. Then finish gluing the fabric down around the rest of the lid. Done!
Voila! Fun pin cushion/sewing storage jar to go!
(I also use baby food jars to store baby thread spools).
I know Hector the Hedgehog is delighted to be relieved of his duties now...
(Funny side-note: my two-ddler thinks she's helping me sew by jamming him full of pins when I'm at my sewing machine!).
Happy crafting friends,
Mel ;o)
This is a great idea and they look cool too. I'll be trying this out when I get my work spae up and running, Niki
