Shabby Chic Pincushion Tutorial

I just love making pincushions! I had this beautiful frame sitting around for years and decided to show you how easy it is to turn a frame into a pincushion.

I began by using the frame to trace on fabric. I cut out two pieces of the fabric and sewed them together leaving a small opening for stuffing. Once stuffed, I sewed the little pillow closed. 

Then I cut out the pretty fabric. I cut it an inch bigger than the frame. It's better to have too much than not enough!

I placed the pillow in the frame under the pretty fabric.

I pressed the frame firmly onto my table as I hot glued the frame to the pretty fabric. 

After it is all glued down, I removed the pillow and flipped the frame over to trim off the excess pretty fabric. 

I cut out a piece of sturdy chipboard to fit over the back of the frame. 

I put the pillow back in and hot glued the chipboard on the back of the frame. 

Then I covered the chipboard with felt. 

I used a pretty trim to finish off the bottom and top of this pretty pincushion. 

And just look how beautiful it turned out!
