LITTLE PIN CUSHION


I designed this fancy pin cushion as my entry to 'The Funkie Junkie Boutique' March challenge called 'Little Things'.  You can get more information at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog HERE.


A friend of mine had made me this darling 'little' pin cushion to hold my special stainless steel pins.  It measures about 1 1/2" wide and 1 1/4" high.  She used a simple orange juice lid for the base.  Very clever.


So I collected some of my favorite scrape papers along with an old wooden spool of thread and started putting all the 'little' objects together.  


Here's another view of the pin cushion.  Final height is 3" glued to a 3 1/4" base.


...And there you have it. Thanks for stopping by...

  1. Oh, my! this is little! I'm so happy you gave us the measurements and how clever for your friend to re-purpose an orange juice lid for the pin cushion! I love that you embellished it with all your little bobs! Thanks for playing along in our Little Things challenge at The Funkie Junkie Boutique blog!

  2. Now that's just about the most clever ever! Hang on to those wooden spools ---they are very hard to find. Love this and how CUTE for the work table!

  3. PS--You got way too many of those stainless steel pins, and I don't see a silk flower on any of them! My stainless pins grow legs and run away and then my Artisan's Glue is doomed!
