  Step 1

  Get a napkin ring (wood is easiest for me to work with).

  I found two at a thrift store for 25 cents.

  Leave the napkin ring
  plain or
  paint or
  decoupage (I forgot to take a pic of decoupaging-oops)

  Step 2

  Cut two (2) felt circles

  1 to glue on bottom (same size of ring) (done later)

  1 a bit bigger (1/4-1/2 inch) for actual cushion

  Sew a running stitch around larger felt piece and tighten

Very cool! I made some of these from a pattern I found using soda bottle tops. They were tiny and cute but the same. I made a bigger one using an empty cosmetic jar and covered it with fabric rather than painting it cause of the jar threads around the top. If you fill the empty space with something heavy like dried beans it makes the pin cushion more stable. Then use something more stable on the bottom to hold the beans in better...

I love your idea of the comic decopage... it's beautiful!
