  Step 1

  CHOOSE A CONTAINER. Your container can be anything from a glass dish to a cute gift box; as long as it is flat on the bottom, is a simple shape, and is shallow.

• 

  Step 2

  TRACE YOUR CONTAINER'S SHAPE. Place your container face down on the foam and trace it. I used some cleaning foam, but you can use whatever, as long as it isn't too porous. I only traced half of my container because the foam was too thick for just one side, but could be cut in half to form the other side.

• 

  Step 3

  CUT OUT YOUR SHAPE. using a pair of scissors or an x-acto knife for more precision, cut your shape out.

• 

  Step 4

  CUT IN HALF. Since mine was too thick, I cut the shape in half.

• 

  Step 5

  ADJUST THE SHAPE. Stuff the foam into your shape and adjust accordingly.

• Step 6

  COVER WITH FABRIC. Take your foam out. Trim a piece of fabric so that is is large enough to go all around the front and sides of the shape. Place the fabric face down on a surface and lay the foam shape on top. Wrap the fabric around the foam. You can secure with hot glue or staples to the back. But if you want to make the fabric interchangeable, don't secure it.

• 

  Step 7

  REPLACE THE FOAM AND FABRIC. Stick the foam covered fabric back into the container. If you like, you can place glue in the bottom of the container first. But if you want the fabric to be interchangeable, don't glue it. Instead, place the foam and fabric into the container, pushing the fabric down with a thin object to tuck it in.

• Step 8

  PLACE OUR PINS. it can also hold sewing needles without losing them in the cushion.
