Tea Cup Pincushions

I did it !!
 I saw the tutorial at Pinterest and immediately, I drooled. It is very easy to make and quick.
All you need :
 cloth
 a teacup, Goodwill has tons for 99 cents
glue gun and glue sticks
scissors
 protractor 
foam or scraps of fabric


                                                    1. Measure and cut your fabric.


                   2. Sew a seam half inch from the edge of your fabric. Pull the fabric to close
                          slightly and stuff . I also filled the cup with a foam or you can also use
                                  scrap fabric. This will support your tiny cushion.


                         
                              3.  Spread glue around inside cup, about 1/4 inch from the brim
                                         and more around edge of cushion. Squeeze cushion
                                       and push it in the cup, careful not to make cushion stick
                                  on sides of cup until you have positioned it on your desired level.
  
                                       


                                                      now aren't these cuties lovely?




...and if you do not want those buttons to scatter, glue a matching saucer
at the bottom of your teacup. It makes a good perch for your little scissors,too.
