To make a cute pin cushion, take a small clay pot, and stuff with fiberfill very firmly - until overflowing. Tuck a scrap of fabric over it, forming a nice dome, and hot glue inside the rim of the pot. You can decorate the rim of the pot with buttons, ribbons, satin roses, etc...
Julie, I have done a similar thing with a tea cup, only I glued pretty braid or cord around the inside of the rim of the cup to hide where I glued the fabric. Sometimes I make a beaded stick pin to stick in it. It looks very pretty. You can use a saucer or not. I found pretty cups at the thrift store. Judy
Would't this be cute favors for a Mother/Daughter Banquet. We had a church banquet one year with the theme Mom's patterns for Life, Thread was made with two inverted portion cups with yarn wrapped around to resemble a spool of thread and toothpicks sprayed silver for a needle.
