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!

DIY Tea Tin Planter for Sweet Mint

Today’s tiny DIY win: turning an empty lemon‑ginger tea tin into a planter for a sweet mint plant that needed some love. I cleaned the tin, added drainage, and nestled the mint inside. It instantly brightened up the space — the colors on the tin and the fresh green leaves look so sweet together. I love giving everyday items a second life, especially when they end up this cute. Quick Video Tutorial  I began this little project by cleaning out an empty metal tea container that I had saved. It still held a soft scent of lemon and ginger, and I loved the idea of giving it a second life. Once I washed and dried it, the container felt ready for a new purpose.   Next, I used a finishing nail and a hammer to create a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tin. Since metal containers don’t have natural drainage, this step helps keep the roots healthy and prevents the soil from becoming soggy. Having prepared the container, I carefully removed the sweet mint from its original pot. The ...

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

  Looking to bring a little sunshine into your space without visiting the craft store? This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint. Bonus: it’s the perfect way to reuse an old frame and welcome summer in style! What You’ll Need: 1 paper towel tube (emptied, of course!) Acrylic paint (I chose a deeper pink) Craft pom poms (yellow makes a great center!) Assorted beads (medium for the stem, smaller for embellishing the petals) Foam letters (for your summer message) A reused frame (square or any shape of your choice) Scissors Hot glue gun Creating your summer flower decoration Cut the Tube and Shape the Petals :  Start by cutting the paper towel tube into four evenly-sized sections.
