About
a cute substitute for the traditional pincushion
These hand-painted teacup pincushions will add a little cute to your sewing supplies. I found a set of four plain white teacups at Goodwill for two dollars. Hand painting them is a fun idea because the brushstrokes add a nice touch, and you can easily personalize them in any way. Of course you can make a pincushion with a teacup without painting it, but isn't this more fun?

Step 1
Gather your supplies. You need a teacup, glass paint (I used Martha Stewart multi-surface satin paint), paint brush, fabric, stuffing, embroidery floss, needle, something circular to trace (I used a pyrex container), hot glue gun + sticks, and scissors.
*a note on circle size: I was unsure of how big to make the fabric circle at first so I just had to expirement; a bigger circle makes a puffier pincushion like the cloud cup*
