Pin Cushion Holder

Pin cushion holder that resembles an ol' fashioned Easter Hat.

Approximate Time 45 minutes

Supplies:

6 inch circle of cardboard or other stiff material
tuna fish can
12x12 inch fabric
12x12 inch printed fabric
craft flowers
lace
craft beads
glue gun
glue sticks
stuffing
ribbon

Instructions:

Cover 6 inch round circle with plain fabric and glue in middle, flatten.

Take tuna can, add stuffing and cover with printed fabric, make sure fabric is flattened underneath and glue to 6 inch circle.

Glue lace around tuna can or whatever you think. I added lace and beads and small flowers.

It looks like a old time Easter hat and then I glued on a hook on back if I wanted to hang it on the wall someday.

If you don't want to use the metal can, use a spray paint can top. You can also put them on a canning jar lid, using it like an embroidery hoop. Pull the fabric over the stuffed spray paint can top & through the ring on the can. Then put in the lid & screw the whole thing back onto the jar & put sewing suppiles in the jar. I've seen these at craft fairs & they sell like crazy . You can make a smaller pin cusion for the jar by just making a small kind of pillow
of stuffing & put the fabric over it.
Very Pretty.
