Pincushions can be made in just about any shape. I've made Christmas trees and used beads to decorate them.They sold for $10.00. You can make Easter bunnies ,Valentine hearts,Halloween pumpkins. You can also use a peanut can and cover it with fabric inside and out. Then with the plastic lid use that as the base for your pincushion.Hot glue a piece of ribbon around the top of the can and you have a pincushion that holds your thread and a pack of needles.You can sell that for $15.00. I do and I sell them as soon as I put one on display.Use your imagination and you can make a lot of money for not much money at your next craft fair.
