Styrofoam Pin Cushion

Take a piece of Styrofoam or packing foam and attach this to your sewing table, sewing machine, or wall behind your sewing area with a piece of double sided tape. The packing foam works great as a pin cushon and you'll always have a convenient place to store your pins when you sew! A sponge will also work in a pinch, but it won't attach easily to your table or wall.

In place of packing foam, you can also use foam board or a piece of foam insulation, but I like to use a piece of the foam that was used to pack new electronic items, like printers or DVD players.
