I certainly don't have that many. I found some old antique shallow dishes at a thrift store and made 5 different ones. I found a sugar bowl that was missing a lid and made one for my best friend. I use a little glue in the bottoms to keep them in place. My favorite is a square crystal dish 4 inches square(1 1/2"high). I keep different pins in each, along with a one in my bedroom, close to the ironing board which stays up all the time. Made several which I gave to the Senior Center craft show. Don't know anyone that couldn't use a pin cushion. Love your cushions.
- to start another collection [LOL]), but these photos are appealing, especially the little owl.
