Cute round DIY pincushion

You can never have enough pincushions, do you? Change the one you use from time to time like you would change your wardrobe after a while. This pincushion is so sweet and easy to make! It's just the right size for your sewing pins, and the covered button makes it extra cute.

Supplies

• Fabric scraps

• Paper template, use our pre-made template download. You can find it in our Free Resource Library, along with other amazing free content!

• Buttons for decoration

• Filling for the pincushion, like polyfill or rice.

Instructions

• Use scraps of fabric to cut out five triangles for the top and one circle for the bottom of your pincushion.

• Join seams of the triangles to form a closed circle, with right sides together and 1/4” seam allowance.

• Lay pieced circle for top and circle for bottom right sides onto each other, with raw edges lined up so you can see them both as one piece when looking at them from above. Pin all around if you wish!

• With a ¼" seam allowance sew all around while leaving a 2" gap for turning in which you will insert polyfill or rice firmly.

• Close up the gap with an invisible ladder stitch.

• Sew a button on either side of the center. It is easiest to do this in one motion by putting the needle straight through and sewing both buttons at once, on top and on the bottom. To give it this special extra I used a covered button on top.

This pincushion is so sweet and easy to make!

Now that you've got a pincushion that's as cute as can be, it's time to show off your new creation. Your friends will love the fact that they can use your handmade pincushion and take it with them wherever they go!

We hope you enjoyed this DIY pincushion tutorial! It's a fun craft project to do on your own or maybe together with your daughter, granddaughter, or any sewing novice. The finished product is sure to make you smile, especially if it has special fabrics to show.
