Pin Cushion
I would like to make me a pincushion. Since I would like for it to be approximately 6 x 4 inches or a little larger, what are the drawbacks of stuffing it with steel wool? I have plenty of ground walnut shells I could use, but I was wanting to keep it light weight. I know that batting is an option and it might be the best one, but I was thinking the steel wool would help with keeping the needles and pins sharp. I do worry about the pins rusting since I do live in the southern United States...Humidity can be a killer!
