A pin cushion comes handy to most sewing enthusiasts as digging out the tiny needles and pins from a drawer or box can be irksome. Not only does it provide an accessible spot for the sewing essentials, but you can also keep and carry it anywhere. Few days back I came across a tutorial on Momtastic that showed a simple way to make a no-sew pin cushion with mason jar. Here is my version.

How to Make a Mason Jar Pin Cushion

Material Required

  • Mason jar (I used a half pint-size jar, but the bigger ones would also do)
  • Cotton stuffing
  • Small piece of fabric (equivalent to the size of the jar lid)
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun

Steps

  1. Place the lid on the fabric piece and draw a wider circle.

  1. Cut out the circle and put the lid after inverting it on the center of the fabric.
  2. Apply some glue along the outer border of the lid and go on folding the fabric over it until some portion is left for the stuffing.

I then filled the jar with my sewing supplies (bobbins, seam rippers, and ribbons) and inserted the cute pins into the cushion. Doesn’t it look ravishing?
