Framed Pincushion - A Pinterest Project I Actually Finished!

So my friend Shannon got me real hooked on Pinterest.  Why did she want to go and do something like that?  And I made a board just for all the crafty projects I want to try out.  I finished one yesterday and thought I would share it with you guys.  It is a lovely Framed Pincushion. 

The first image I saw was on Storage Glee. 

They linked to a tutorial by Simone from Beach Vintage.  Here is her version.  So lovely and easy.

I actually did not use the tutorial.  I didn't even see it until today.  I just used the cardboard image in the frame I had and hot glued my fabric down to the front of it.  Here is the plastic frame I got from the thrift store for $2.

I have been saving it for something awesome, and this was just the project for it.  I use a lot of pins when I sew and also when I hot glue flower rosettes.  So I wanted somewhere to put them while I work beside all over my sewing table.  Here's a picture of some of the other materials I used.



Poly fil from a pillow I don't like (I like the pattern, but for some reason the material was not set right and the colors bleed when it gets wet), bright fabric, flat black spray paint, and I also used hot glue and a gun and white paper for backing.  I took the picture out and spray painted the frame.

I cut a piece of fabric out just a bit bigger than my cardboard, glued it down to the front of the cardboard, stuffed it with polyfil, and glued the other sides down.  I wrapped the fabric around and glued it to the back of the cardboard.  Here is the finished cushion hangin on my wall.  What do you think?
