I use the brown papier-mache boxes that you can buy from craft stores. I paint them with a water based paint and leave them to dry.
You will need 2 pieces of fabric for the top and bottom of your pincushion, Filling, A button and a glue gun.

ReplyDeleteYour instructions are simple and clear, Sue. Such an adorable little pincushion! I don't take the time for little projects like this very often, but this one is too tempting to ignore. I see several in my future.
