Today I spent the day making a few party favors...
Magnetic Pincushions

I have to admit....this was a fun project!
This little plate measures about 3 inches across.
It has a magnet glued to the bottom, so the pins stay put.
I found it at the thrift store for less than a dollar.
Wouldn't this be sweet on your sewing table, and it wouldn't take up much room either.
Very Round Kitty Cat
Just throw the pins at the plate, and they stick to it!
Rose
Polk a Dots
Ice Cream Sundae
Circles
Ice Cream Cone
These all came from thrift shopping.
What a great way to recycle...
Here is how I did it:
Glue a magnet on the bottom of each plate
You only need one heavy duty magnet (left plate)
or
3 Regular magnets (right plate)
All Purpose Adhesive works fine.
Time to wrap them up:
Square piece of sparkly tulle and ribbon make the perfect gift wrapping
Magnetic Pincushions ready for gift giving...
I think each one cost under $2 to make, including the wrapping.
Go get busy.....your friends would love one of these!
May Your Bobbin Always Be Full,
