Pin Cushie


I toss and turn last night trying to think about what I should be making next
(actually it was 7 in the morning)
and it occurred to me while I was at work that I'll just use my left overs
(yup, left overs) fabric from last night
TO MAKE

A PIN CUSHION
Though it may sounds so oh-primary-school but I don't have a pin cushion yet
so, might as well


The Final result in my head contained these;
  1. The left over fabric  from the pillow cover I made last night 
  2. A cardboard tube, one of which I have no idea where it came from
  3. Pen and parer to make a pattern but this is optional
  4. Synthetic craft wool
  5. Measuring tape and scissors
  6. Optional decorating items, I chose the left over bit from the carry bag last night
  7. Rope or any thing to tie up the fabric
  8. HOT GLUE GUN!!! I also use thread and needle but hey... Up to you..

Let's begin!!
  •  First you have to make a pattern. One round piece to cover the top of the cardboard tube and a thick strip to cover the body of the tube. Make sure your fabric is wider so you can tie it later

  • Sew the two pieces together from inside out then turn the right side out to make a tube-like cover. Like the picture above
  • Then place it over the cardboard tube, make sure the circle sits on the top part perfectly 
  • You can now start stuffing!!!
  • Cut the thread and tie the bottom tightly, and pull the excess fabric up along the tube


  •  Then You may decorate it with whatever you want, however you want. GLUE GUN TIME!!

how do you make a gif


3 Pieces of RUBBISH down for this Pin Cushion, I'm proud :D

but the tomorrow recycle project is SUPER AWESOME!!
I'm excited already!!
Bye for now!!
