What a great upcycling idea for cans.!
I’m using a DIY pincushion shaped like a little pillow that I stitched from leftover sweater scraps from the pogos that I make. I kept losing it, so I added a patch of rubbery rug padding to the bottom. Now it stays put and I no longer find it on the floor.

This is so cute! Definitely a contender in my new pincushion-to-make search. I’ll be linking this tomorrow. Thanks!

The reason the small strawberry pincushions have emery is to sharpen your pins and needles, but you can’t leave your needles in those cushions or they will rust. The filling used here is just fine for it’s use, and it’s an old-school diy project, nothing wrong with that, I love redoing things I did with my mom and grandmother. Everything old is new again.

Very cute idea! I was looking for various ways to repurpose tin cans and found this.
