Cut a little pencil sized circle into the center and push a green pencil down into the green puff.Then you make any kind of flower that you want to make(I usually make a daisy).Hot glue that around the eraser. I charge $10.00 for that one. You can make Easter eggs,Christmas trees,heart shaped ones for Valentines Day. I started making them and putting them in a wicker basket on my showcase and selling them for $5.00 -$10.00 each depending on the kind of pin cushion. The ones that sell the best are the wrist pin cushions for $5.00 each.

    I made tea bag wallets for our Christmas church bazaar and they sold like hotcakes. Children's aprons always sell well, I make them oout of hand towels and bind them with cute novelty prints. I even put pockets on them and then I tie a cookie cutter to them with ribbon.

    A friend made zipper broaches for presents this year and they are beautiful. Google zipper broaches. Everyone at church was admiring them, and because they are different, might sell well.

    I made the fabric trays that tie at the corners and the recipents loved them.
