Hi Val...and others, When I would do these in a tea cup or a sugar bowl with one handle missing, I would put a small styrofoam ball in the bottom. It took up space and you didn't need as much stuffing. Then I would use a half of a ball as a base for the pin cushion part and then cover with steel wool and then a bit of cotton and then some fabric. I found that the cold glue gun stuff does not hold very well. There must be some kind of glue that would work. I have heard of Gorilla glue but not tried it. There should be some craft glue somewhere that would work for fabric against porcelain.
