Free Christmas Craft Projects - Christmas Pin Cushion
What you need:
2 Mason Jar lids (quart size); 5" x 10" green or red felt; 20" single
loop gold braid; 1" diameter gold ring; 4" x 8" of 1/2"
thick foam rubber; 1 dozen miniature gold pine cones; 1 dozen holly berries;
masking tape; white glue.
What to do:
1. Cut 2 - 3 1/2" square pieces from the green felt and two 2 1/2 inch
round pieces from the foam rubber. 2.Lay the felt and then the sponge
rubber centered over the hole in the jar lid. Put the round flat piece of jar
lid over sponge rubber. Press firmly into place, pushing in the center so as to
make the felt go beyond the rim just a little. Repeat for the second jar lid.
Fold excess felt to the inside. Put the two inside edges of the lid together and
secure by pressing masking tape firmly over the entire seam where the two lids
meet. 3. Cut a piece of green felt 1 by 10 inches. Glue this over the
masking tape. Spread glue along edges of the green felt and lay single loops of
gold braid into it. Remember to keep seams at the same place. 4. Cut
wires from the miniature pine cones and holly berries. Put glue on each piece
and arrange in a cluster over the seams. 5. On the opposite side, glue
the gold ring. This makes a stand for your pin cushion.
