Never lose your pincushion again
I got these pins from my mom after she bought herself some new ones. Unfortunately, the pin box is older than I am, and it hasn't been able to snap shut for years. I've also never had a pincushion, and just stab my pins into whatever is nearest. So I came up with this idea while looking at my Altoids tin one day. The pincushion is attached to the top of the box, and the lid actually *closes*. Oh happy day!

Step 1
Gather up your materials. You'll need an empty tin of Altoids Smalls, a scrap of paper (for tracing your tin), a piece of cardboard (corrugated or pressed, doesn't matter), a pair of sewing scissors, a pair of NOT sewing scissors, Fiberfill, glue (I used tacky), and fabric. For my fabric, I used a stretchy polyester, because I HATE hemming things. You can use whatever you have sitting around. It only takes a small scrap.
