The other day a was looking for a pincushion design and came across a picture of one like this. I thought shoot i should give it a go and try to make that. I'm sure we all have seen things in magazines or craft shows or stores and think i don't have to buy that, i can make it.The stem of the cushion is a candle stick. Well this is my take on the one i seen. The witch is from here at cuties. I made that one for my friend who likes witches.

lol... i'll be right behind you.. I just used a guilt block pattren for the design and i used a dvd for the circle, then i cut a rectangle piece and sewed a little pocket down one side for the string to go into, then sewed it around the circle, put the string in and stuffed it with batting and then put the candle stick in the hole and pulled really tight and tied it up. It was simple.

These look great, and a great place to get these candle holders would be either the Dollar Tree, or the resaes shops. I can not believe how many of these I gave away just not too long ago.

I know the feeling. I garage sale every weekend in the summer and i have passed these by many times. I got these ones from the local salvation army thrift store for 50 cents. I'll be on the look out this summer for sure. I think i'll make these for christmas for my sister and sister inlaws.

I have covered a empty tuna/salmon can with fabric & embroidered a cake on top. Stuff it & finish the same way as above & you have a Cupcake pincushion!
