Introducing my little cupcake pin cushion. I made this little fellow on the weekend....isn't it just so cute. How did you make it? I hear you ask. Well I just freehanded a little abstract shape out of the green and then zig zag stitched it onto some calico. I cut the calico into a circle and laid some crochet thread around the outside edge and stiched over it with a very large zig zag....this helps when you gather the edges up to add a little stuffing. Then I just glued it into a little silicon cupcake base with some hot glue. I added some blue rick rack but that's only for decoration....Then the sprinkles on the top are just the heads of all of the pins.....super cute and very practical. I love it! Hope you do too!

Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I have been meaning to make one/or a few for ages but I never thought to do the icing with material on the top like you did, good thinking!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Peta! I'm so glad you didn't eat it. Imagine all those pins going through your body. When you drink all your water you would be like a water spout.
ReplyDeleteLove you and miss you!
