I've been looking for an easy project to share with you.
As usual, I don't have much time for any "intricate" craft project. My little man is still fighting chicken pox, so, at the moment we're having 'Sam and mamma messy crafts'...
I was thinking to do something quick and sweet... I thought, what about a pincushion! We always need a new pincushion, don't we? It is one of our essential tools, a crafter best friend... we all have one or more next to us while working on our projects...
... this is my favourite, a classic, 'the tomato pincushion'!
I though I would go for something more "springly" and romantic, a daisy pincushion.
This is what you need:
This is what you need:
- White and yellow felt
- Threads and needles
- Petals corolla and circle patterns. On my 'Project My Way' Page there is the one that I've made, but in the internet you might find better ones...
- Scissors
- Toy stuffing
- Glue gun
So, after you cut your circle, hand-stitch around the edges...
Then, pull the tread and fill the little bump with toy stuffing before giving a few final stitches.
Using the glue gun, put a thin line of glue all around the stitches, then place the little bump in the centre of the corolla and press a bit. Of course, you can hand-stich the bump to the corolla.
Ta daaa!!!
At this point your daisy pincushion is done, easy, isn't it?
If you want your daisy pincushion to be a wrist pincushion, this is what you can do...
Make a small little circle using some green felt and then make two small cuts in the middle...
Cut a piece of elastic tape the same length of your wrist. Put the elastic tape through the two cuts, then glue the circle to the flower with the glue gun. Hand-stitch the elastic tape and your job is done!
Hope you like it!
