Description:

I LOVE upcycling old teacups, desert dishes, and other nicknacks into pincushions. I have a cabinet full of stuff I have purchased in order to make them. I thought this would make for the perfect swap..

The Facts:

  • You will be making ONE pin cusion for ONE partner

  • This is sender's choice, but it's always a good rule of thumb to check your partners profile for likes and dislikes.

  • Be sure to add some sort of embellishments to your pincusion - buttons, beads, ribbon, fibers, yoyo's, tags - similar to my picture in the swap photo. Here are some that I made recently to give you an idea.

  • No recent or MULTIPLE 1's or 3's

  • Do your BEST and NEATEST work - something you would be happy to receive.

  • If you make it with something breakable, but sure to package it extra carefully to it makes it to your partner unbroken.

  • There are no size restrictions - make it as big or as small as you like.

Here are a few tutorials:

I've tried to do this one like a dozen times and I can't get it right. I'm going to move to my watch list just in case I can figure it out by next week.
