Aren't they cute?

Now I have a Chicken Pincushion. I couldn't resist this chicken and egg item. It is about 3 inches high.

How did you make the door knob pin cushion?
ReplyDeleteFor the doorknob I cut a 3.5 inch circle of fabric and basted around the outside edge. About far enough away so it wouldn't unravel to easily. Then I pulled the thread ends to close the opening. When it was about half way closed I started stuffing it with wool batting. I stuff it until it is really tight and full and occasionally I tighten the basting threads until it is really full and the threads are as close together as I can make them.
ReplyDeleteI take a couple of passes through the batting with the needle and thread to anchor it and tie it off.. Then I use tacky glue and glue it to the item I want to attach it to. Easy Peasy. As a note this door knob did not have the brass shank attached to it so it was a fairly flat surface to glue it to.
It's true. You are nuts about pincushions.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now I can't help but think: "Guess what? Chicken butt!"
