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.

Cupcake and Teacup Pincushions

Over at RedrinArt, there's a tutorial that shows you how to made some tiny cupcake pincushions.

You can also turn them into little teacup pincushions with a little alteration (adding a handle), which is a cute idea!

These are pretty easy to make and, as I said, they are tiny. You can easily make these with your left over scraps.


Nothing stopping you from making a slightly larger one, though. Ether way, they look like they would be great gift ideas!
