SUPPLIES
The pom pom must be large enough to squeeze into the lid and give a nice puffy, thick surface. The 1 size is too small. The one's shown measured about 1 3/8 which "might" be considered 1 1/2 size. (I purchased mine in a large bag of mixed sizes.) The lids come in a variety of colors or you could also spray paint them if desired.
Add hot glue to your lid.
Add your elastic.
Enjoyed the project?

I use my in my sewing box for straight pins also add elastic long enough to fit around the base neck of sewing machine - position it in front so its handy to reach or velcro the bottom And stick it onto the base or end of machine . They make cute mini pin cushion for a guild retreat gift or quilting friends

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Why 3 inches of elastic? My fattest finger - and, trust me, they are all fat! - only measures a bit more than 1 inch. Even allowing for the glues ends, it shouldn't take more than 2 inches, by my calculations.![](http://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/design/emojis/263a.png)
That is such a cute idea. Thank you! 🙂
