framed pin cushions

Sometimes the smallest gifts are the best. I know what you’re thinking… if I mean jewelry, yes! But I needed to come up with some clever gift ideas for my crafty peeps, so diamonds were not in the equation. I did, however, stumble upon these little ceramic picture frames for just a few dollars each, and I transformed them into pin cushions!

Seems simple, but it took a bit more ingenuity than I had imagined. The glass was actually glued in place, so I had to break it in order to remove it. Then I covered some cotton ball padding with bright fabric and inserted it into the frame. A little tricky, but they turned out so sweet!

So here’s to you my crafty friends. Happy pinning!
