Pincushion

Each of us at least once in our lives has encountered the problem of losing a needle, followed by a long search in panic. So, to prevent this from happening to you again, I suggest you make a pincushion with which you will always know where your needle is. In addition, such a cute little thing will not only store needles and please the eye, but will also serve as a container for small items, of which there are usually a lot in every home. It is done very quickly and simply. For this you do not need to purchase anything additional. Elementary materials at hand will be enough, and the needle case will be ready.

pincushion


For work we will need:
• textile
• small jar
• cardboard
• foam rubber
• scissors
• glue
• pencil
• threads
• needle
• ribbons for decoration

we will need


Cut out a circle from cardboard equal in size to the top surface of your lid. I have a lid with a diameter of 5 cm.

Cut out from cardboard


I will use foam rubber as a filler. If you prefer a different filler, then you can skip the next step. But if you, like me, decided to opt for foam rubber, then you need to cut out 2 circles, one circle is 5 mm smaller than the diameter of the lid, the second is 1-2 cm larger than the diameter of the lid.This is done so that the cap of our needle bed is more voluminous and soft.

Cutting from foam rubber


Take the fabric. You can take absolutely any fabric you can find at home. Cut out a circle twice as large as the top surface of the lid. For my lid it is 10 cm.

We sew along the edges with regular, simplest stitches.

We begin to form the cap of our pincushion. First, place a circle of foam rubber that is larger in size.

Then we cover the one that is smaller in size with a circle of cardboard. Gently tighten the thread and securely fix it.

This is such a funny hat.

Glue it to the lid. I use instant glue, you can use the glue you trust most.

We decorate the jar. By the way, about the jar. I have it from a baby food bottle, 6 cm high, 5 cm in diameter. Honey is often sold in such small jars if you can’t find it in the baby food department.
Take decorative tape and cover the lid. You can use beads, lace, satin ribbons - whatever your imagination tells you... or whatever you find at home.

decorate


We hide the junction of the ribbon under a bow. Our pincushion is ready!

I use the surface of the pincushion for its intended purpose, and store glass beads inside.

Because Since I am passionate about embroidery, I prefer to store my embroidery needles separately from regular needles. For this I have another pincushion.

It is made exactly the same as the first one. The only difference is that inside I placed exactly the same cap that we glued to the lid. This way my embroidery needles are always in a safe place and don't get mixed up with others.
