Darling Little Pincushions!

My husband is out of town tonight so I had time to sit down and make a few pincushions. These are so much fun to make and really don't take much time at all.

 

  
1st. Find a cute little planter, teacup, etc.
2nd.  Stuff with paper and cute a piece of foam to fit snuggly into opening
3rd. Find coordinating fabric and stitch a loose stitch around bottom. Pull tight around foam.
4th. Hot glue into the planter, smoothing fabric as you go.
5th. The best part.....embellish!

    Finding the time and gathering supplies are the hardest parts.
