Super Easy Pin Cusion

So I found this really neat site, don't even ask me where, I don't even remember how long ago it was. I just remembered I wanted to make one, so when I already had the mess of the machine and all my junk out I thought I would take the opprotunity. So here is my step by step thinggy for making a pin cushion, not that it's all that difficult. *Ü*



1. I found some material I liked, and cut out at six inch circle, or sorta circle, I didn't use a protractor, but at least it doesn't look like a square. *Ü*


2. Of course I put right sides together and hemed around the edge with a strait stitch leaving enough of a gap to stuff this little critter.



3. After I stuffed the thinggy, I hemmed the opening shut. Don't laugh! I know it doesn't look sp professional, but I'm not one so that's why!


4. Then I took some pink thread, threaded a big eyed needed a few times (the more threads you use at one time the less times you have to run it through. Then when I finished that I added the little button.

* oh yea I forgot, it's good to use a felty material for the base, don't ask me why, that's just what everyone says. *Ü*

    This turned out so cute. I'm thinking of turning out a bunch of these for Christmas gifts. Not only do they look easy but also will cost me almost nothing to make since I have all the supplies except for felt. Thanks for sharing this.
