Mini Pincushion Tutorial!

 

 

 

This is a tutorial for a mini pincushion in a thimble charm. It can be worn as a necklace or just to sit there next to you while you sew. They make for a very cute homemade gift for anybody who sews.

 

What you'll need:

1. Thimble
2. Scissors
3. Needle
4. Thread
5. Jump ring*
6. Pins
7. Metal hole punch*
8. Hot glue gun
9. Glue sticks
10. Fabric
11. Filling, can be cotton or stuffing or even scrap fabric

*Optional, only needed if you want to make the pincushion into a charm

 

Step One:

Punch a hole into your thimble with your metal hole punch.

 

Step Two:

Cut a circle out of your fabric

The circle should be about the size of a silver dollar or slightly larger

 

Step Three:

Sew around the edge of your fabric

 

Step Four:

Place your filling in the center of the fabric

 

Step Five:

Pull the thread tight

 

Step Six:

Secure where you pulled the thread tight so it doesn't pop back open

 

Step Seven:

Use plyers or your fingers to open the jump ring

 

Step Eight:

Attach the jump ring in the hole

 

Step Nine:

Put a ring of hot glue around the inner rim of the thimble

 

Step Ten:

Stick the ball into the thimble

 

Step Eleven:

Put your pins into the pincushion
