I was trying to find a use for all these fruit sauce cups I had, and thought they kind of looked like cupcake bottoms.So I made them into pincushions!
Here I used a piece of vintage fabric I was saving for a while cause I love the print..but you can also use felt :)
1
Wash and dry a fruit cup.Then add the stuffing.(enough so it'll make a nice cupcake top shape)
2
Sew a button on the fabric where the middle of your pincushion will be..(I actually forgot to sew it on, so I had to glue it with a glue gun afterwards).
With one hand, hold the fabric down and sew around the rim of the plastic cup securely.You might need to sew around a few times to make sure it holds.
3
Cut the fabric as close as you can to the rim.
4
To make it look nicer, cut a piece of felt to fit around the plastic cup and glue around the stitching and around the cup.
5
With your glue gun, add some glue onto the bottom of the baking cup and gently place the cupcake on it.
6
Take a large muffin pan and place the cupcake in one of the holes.Carefully add some more glue around the crinkle part of the baking cup and press down on the pincushion.
7
Take it out, add some pins and enjoy!
