Teacup Pincushion

Have a pretty looking old teacup you never use? Here's an idea by Jenny Ryan from Craftzine.com: turn them into pincushions! 

Using a four step process, Jenny shows you how to re-purpose a teacup into a cute pincushion in this free tutorial. It's simple to do and, as she mentions, would make a great gift!

I've been reading a lot about going to second hand or vintage stores and re-purposing all sorts of things lately. It seems like such a fun hobby! I'm sure there are lots of lonely teacups out there just begging for a new use. Or maybe you have an old teacup you never use that has had all its sisters broken already? It's bound to be better than letting it sit in the cupboard collecting dust.

See the teacup here!
