Mason Jar Pin Cushions

Last week Chablis asked me to help her make a mason jar pin cushion.  She had found a tutorial on Pinterest that she liked and you can go here to check it out.  We gathered up a couple of small mason jars, some fabric, a needle and thread and some polyester fiberfill.  See the green sewing box sitting there? I know it's kind of beat up looking, but my mom's cousin brought that back from Vietnam for me in the mid 1960's.  I have held onto it and used it all these years....


We gathered the fabric with a needle and thread and then we stuffed the top with the fiberfill.  Be careful not to over-stuff them.  We did at first and after we glued them down to the lids we had to cut them open and remove some of the filling because we couldn't get the jars to screw shut.  Live and learn...


Once we had the proper amount of filling we re-glued the fabric to the lids, glued a small piece of felt over it and finally screwed the lids onto the jars....


It was actually a pretty easy project and something I can definitely use....
