Upcycled Pincushions


Lately, I've been into making pincushions using recycled items. This fairy house uses a recycled baked beans can for the house and the garden part is formed by a circular wooden sample that was left over from when we had to choose a colour for our garage doors.

This one has a recycled shipping tube as its base and I left the lid at the bottom to allow for storage.

This last one has a recycled bottlecap as its base and, as it was snowing when I made it, I was inspired to embroider something that I hoped would resemble a snowflake.
