I've been re-organizing my crafting stuff and realized that I don't have a pin cushion and am in much need of one. I found this cute idea online and decided to share with you...
Ingredients:
- 2 pieces of felt (one color for donut, one color for icing)
- 1 pair scissors
- thread in the same colors as your chosen felt
- lots of stuffing
- 1 sewing needle
- 1 beading needle
- seed beads
I chose to use a yellow-ish/ beige-y color felt (that photographs super orange) for my donut part. I used a dvd as a guide for the size I wanted. I traced the dvd and cut out about a half inch outside the pattern for seam allowance. For the middle of the donut hole I traced my spool of thread and left a seam allowance for that as well when I cut out the hole.
Put good side to good side and sew around the dotted line. Once you have sewed the circumference of your donut, flip it right side out.
Stuff your donut extra full and then sew the middle shut. I just whip stitched the middle because I decided that I was going to "ice" the middle of the donut. (I sewed the middle and didn't like the way it looked so I decided to cover the middle with the icing color)
Use the same dvd pattern for your icing. I decided to use a purple color felt for the icing. Cut out in a squiggly/haphazard way. Before you attach the "icing" sew your seed beads on. Then whip stitch the icing onto your donut! Then ENJOY!!!!
