pin cushion mason jar

pin cushion mason jar

last night while i could not sleep, i was browsing through pinterest and came across a pin cushion mason jar.  and i thought to myself... i have to make this! not only is it cute, but it is very useful.



supplies you will need
mason jar (with 2 part lid)
hot glue gun
fabric
piece of card board
stuffing
scissors


in this photo, i have already cut the piece of cardboard into a circle the size of the cap.

now you want to cut your fabric into a circle a little bit bigger than the cap.  this will allow you to stuff the stuffing and have an extra lip to glue down.




turn your piece of fabric upside down, and place the stuffing on it with the card board on top



start with glueing on side at a time 





now glue in each corner of the fabric to make it circular around the cardboard

after doing so, using a lot if hot glue, glue your cushion onto the mason jar lid.



now your ready to screw the cap on, and use away!

this is the sewing container and pin cushion all in one.  it would also make the perfect gift for someone who loves to sew.
