A Mini Illustrated DIY- Pin Cushion


You will need: a jam jar (small), sharpie, stuffing, needle & thread, circle of fabric (a bit bigger than the top of your jar)
1. sew around the circle of fabric, leaving the thread loose.
2. stuff the circle, and place on top of the jam jar lid. Pull on the loose threads, tying them underneath the jam jar lid, as tightly as possible. 
3. ensure all of the sides of the fabric are securely fastened under the lid.
4. using the sharpie, label the jar (I labelled mine 'pins and needles' although anything will do)
5. put some pins in the jar, screw on the lid carefully, without breaking the fabric, and  use the top to hold pins when embarking on a sewing project!!!


I hope you like this post- it is kind of a mini- prequel to another post.... keep an eye out!
Enjoy,
