My DH and i found the glass pedestal at an antique barn. I sewed a cylinder in white satin, filled it with saw dust, and embellished it with ribbonwork, then attached it to the pedestal. A fun project!
WOW...how big is that one?
Sure is really pretty...
Thanks Jacquie and everyone for your nice comments on my cake pincushion! I don't have it with me anymore to measure, but it was small, a little bigger than the circumference of a Campbell's soup can. You can kind of tell how big it is if you realize that the pins are just regular pearl headed straight pins.
Holey Moley what a lot of neat collections, great ideas and helpful links on this thread! Thanks for posting this topic doowopddbop! (love your board name by the way) I hope this keeps going because it is turning into a great resource for ideas.
