I got tired of keeping my pins in tic tac containers

Instructions

1. 

   .

2. 

   First you'll want to pop your frames open to find out what is up inside them. If they are cheapies like mine they probably have some sort of gross thin plastic in front.

3. 

   If your frame has glass then pop it out being careful not to lacerate your poor little fingers. If you have the thin plastic then take your tool of choice, in this case an exacto knife, and carefully cut it out being careful not to lacerate your poor little fingers.

4. 

   Once you get all that nonsense cleared out then lay your fabric over the now open window.

5. 

   Drop a dollop of stuffing in there

6. 

   the tricky part comes when you are trying to shut the door. Mind that the edges don't come out the front, and just squish as much as possible

7. 

   Once you finally get the door slammed on those shenanigans, I recommend taking your exacto knife around the door edge and using the blunt side of it to shove in any stragglers At this point you may wish to glue down or trim these fabric edges. I really didn't care so I didn't

8. 

   VWALLA! You have tiny pincushions which will stand freely on your sewing table or desk
