Bracelet Style Pin Cushion tutorial:

Step 1 – Form the cushion section

This doesn’t need to be perfect – cut off the corners of the 5 inch square so it’s a roughly round shape.

Then take you needle and thread and quickly sew a running stitch around the edge.

It doesn’t need to be exact, keep it about a quarter of an inch from the edge.

Start to gather the the fabric together, but leave a gap.

Now stuff the center with steel wool. Fill it to the desired firmness.

Then sew the gap shut.

Step 2 – Form the base of the pin cushion

Using the mason jar lid or cardboard circle lay it on the other fabric square and trace an

inch border around it and cut out the circle.

Then glue the edge of the circle over the lip of the jar.

Then glue the pin cushion to the top, covering the rest of the lid.

Glue knick knacks and embellishments around the edge to finish.

Step 3 – Add velcro to complete the Bracelet Style Pin Cushion

Flip the Pincushion over and cut a slit in the fabric large enough for the bracelet top to fit through.

Take the loop section of the Velcro and glue onto the lid behind the fabric.
