Steps (9 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    so i found these flower fun cups by wilton and they were so adorable i had to do something with them, and i'm always losing my needles...of course that meant i had to turn them into pin cushions!

  2. 2

    Once you get all your materials together, you'll need to make a circle of fabric about three times the size of the cupcake holder. i traced a giant mug to make my circle.

  3. 3

    stich aruond the edge of your circle. one you get all the way around, cinch it a little

  4. 4

    now fill your partiallty sinched circle with the sand. keep cinching as you go, and be careful- this part can get messy!

    you use coarse sand because it helps keep your needles sharp.

  5. 5

    once you've filled your circle as much as you can, cinch it all the way and sew it closed.

  6. 6

    now time to make the cherry on top! pick out your favorite button and make a stem for it out of wire

  7. 7

    look how cute!

    you can either thread the wire through the fabric, or just glue the finished cherry on top

  8. 8

    now, i have a picture of me hot gluing the cushion into tyhe cup, but i found that hot glue isn't strong enough to hold a bag of sand. sobo glue, however, works wonderfully, even though it takes a lot longer to dry- about 20 minutes

    now all you have to do is put your needles in their brand new cushion!
