This doesn't have but one step so sorry for the short post. But there really aren't any so here you go just the same.

When you have an "impromptu" sewing project and don't have a pin cushion, consider this.

You simply grab a ball of yarn that you no longer need, and stuff it into a container like this frosting one, an old mug, a coffee can, or Crystal Light tube. Voila! Instant pin cushion!

Acrylic yarn is great for pins, as they slide through the fibers so easily. You can even keep smaller knitting needles in there, as there is plenty of room for the tips and won't make the cup fall.
N-JOY!
Find the size container you like. It doesn't have to be heavy, so use what ever you like.


Then roll a ball of yarn a bit larger than what will fit in so it's a big snug. You are done!!
Suggested materials:
  • Container like frosting or even a coffee mug   (Had at home)
