With some imagination, you can turn an old tea cup into a pretty pin cushion.
Approximate Time: 1 hour to 1.5 hours
Supplies:
tea cup with or without saucer
Advertisement
your choice of yarn
size 5.5 mm hook
hot glue gun
E6000 or contact cement
sewing embellishments
scrap lace or ribbon
Instructions:
Decorate the cup before you cement it to the saucer.
With your chain one on hook, chain another and make a single crochet in first chain. Make one single crochet in the back loop of each single crochet.
Do not start or end a row, just keep making a big spiral.
When you have a circle almost the width of the cup, break off that color and add another, making a ruffle of chain three and slip stitch in each stitch around.
Fill the cup with batting, and hot glue the crocheted work to the brim a little at a time.
Decorate with buttons, anything little like sewing embellishments, etc.
Glue the cup to the saucer and tie a lace or ribbon bow around the bottom.
With some imagination, you can turn an old tea cup into a pretty pin cushion.
