Making a Paint Can Pincushion

I don't have much room on my work table, so today while making a wreath, I needed a place to stick a needle. I thought of setting my pin cushion on top of the paint can, then thought it needs one of it's own. Full size view of the paint can with the pin cushion attached to lid.

 

With two strands and a larger hook, I simply chained 4, and made 13 more double crochets in the first chain from hook. Then I joined, secured tail, and hot glued it onto the top. Crochet pin cushion on spray paint can lid, closeup.

 

Your work time is about 3 minutes. Now I don't have to get up and walk across the room to get a second pin cushion.

That's a very clever idea! I can sympathize with you about the hips & knees; I had a hip replacement last year, & my right knee needs it too. The doctor says I have to lose a lot of weight first, though! I look for ways to save steps all the time. Thumbs up!
