Mason Jar Lid Pincushion Tutorial

Please read through all of the instructions first before gathering supplies.

There are some tips that may help you decide what you need.

Step 1

Because this goes pretty quickly you need to gather all of your supplies.

For each pincushion you will need:

1 Mason or canning jar lid with the screw on ring (pint or quart size)

1/2 of a Styrofoam ball (pint size = 2 1/2 inch ball or quart size = 3" ball)

Small scrap of fabric enough to cover your Styrofoam and tuck underneath

Package of about 50 - 1 inch straight pins

4 - 1 1/2 inch straight pins or decorator pins with pearls on head of pin

Approximately 50 pearl beads or just pins with pearl heads optional

Matching gimp or trim to cover ring

Hot glue

1 jar to rest ball on while gluing

Something to cut your Styrofoam ball with

Ice pick or nail and hammer to punch small holes into the lid

Optional additional embellishments

Please go to the blog post and see the complete How-To. These are just too fun to make and everyone loves getting one as a gift!
