i saw this cute little tea cup in the charity shop, and decided to make it into a pin cushion
what you need
tea cup
round piece of fabric larger than cup
stuffing (size of saucer)
batting (optional)
glue gun
needle and thread
doily (optional)
first you need to cut a large circle and the do a running stitch all the way around like the photo below
then you need to pull tight, and add stuffing until it is firm, then sew the bottom together
then place doily over the top, put some glue around the inside of the cup, and push the pincushion inside. and its done, i think this is the quickest project i have ever done but i love it. im planning to make more as im starting a market stall soon and i think they would make a nice gift idea, so im keeping my eye out for some pretty tea cups while im out thrifting
I love this–Thanks for showing how you did it. Now I know why I "need" the next adorable teacup I see at Goodwill:)
