DIY Spring sewing pin cushion with storage

{DIY SPRING PIN CUSHION}
Materials needed:
An empty candle jar with a lid
Hot glue gun
ribbon
the fabric of your choice
Optional decorative flower
Scissors
poly-fil


Start off by cutting your fabric to place onto your lid.
I took a marker and traced a circle a little bigger than the lid
Using my poly-fil I glued it onto the lid.

 After I  took my fabric and covered the poly-fil and started gluing my fabric to the underside of
my lid. I usually have bad luck when doing this and it seems as though the lid won't close completely
But I used a thinner fabric and the top actually grips the jar, so it worked out.

Your lid should be able to fit securely onto your jar.
I then took my hot glue and applied my ribbon around the bottom of my cushion.
This is optional, but if you would like, add a flower to add just a little extra cuteness to your pin cushion.
Enjoy!

Budget-Friendly Spring Frame Decor with Faux Flowers

There’s something truly wonderful about transforming the simplest craft supplies into a soft, delicate piece of décor.

It reminded me of my love for quick projects that utilize materials we already have on hand.    I had a few leftover faux flowers from a previous craft , and instead of putting them away again, I thought, “Why not add a touch of spring magic to this frame? ”    It’s one of those easy, no-stress projects that is calming to create and instantly brightens up any space. With just a few snips and some hot glue, that plain frame transforms into something soft, pretty, and perfectly suited for the season. Quick video tutorial  Materials You'll Need A simple white picture frame is a great choice for this project, especially if you love a clean, minimalist vibe! It really gives a fresh, stylish look that can brighten any space.   Gather an...
