Stick pins and pin cushion

Here is another pin cushion along with some stick pins I made.

As usual, I altered a black olive can to make the pin cushion.

 I wrapped the can with burlap and added some twine around the edges. Easy peasy!

Stick pins were made using glass beads.

Another Pin Cushion

I love making pin cushions out of these black olive cans! They are so easy and fun to do. This one was made for my swap friend Lana. I painted it pink then added some crackle then used Martha Stewart pearl paint. I love it. I then added some pretty lace and some pink pearl trim around the edge. The butterflies are stamped on pink paper then embossed, so pretty!

The stick pins are made with pretty glass beads and I used the sizzix 3d flower die for the flowers.

Pin cushion with stick pins

I made this pin cushion out of a black olives can. It seems about the perfect size for a cushion and I seem to always have these cans on hand since I add olives to my pizza. (yum) 

I'm not the greatest at getting the material just right around the ball, it seems to always leave creases.  I added feathers around the edge along with pearls and lace.

For my stick pins, I used little pink flowers from the dollar store. They look really pretty on there with some pretty glass beads from Wal-Mart.

Winter Pin Cushion & stick pins

I made this pin cushion and the stick pins for a swap. My partner asked for a Winter theme in pastel colors. This was my first time making a pin cushion. 

I used some snow white, textured FolkArt paint by PLAID on the snowmen and around the bottom of the base to give a snowy affect. (Love this stuff!) The base of the pincushion was painted with PLAID FolkArts Extreme Glitter acrylic paint. (2790 Turquoise) It looks really glittery and pretty. The winter title with the snowmen were cut from my Cricut Expression as well as the snowflake. I added Martha Stewart glitter to the title and the snowflake to give a bit of shimmer.
