Because i have my Gkids here everyday, and they Love the "bubble" pins i needed something safe to keep my pins in. So this is what i came up with. A plastic container that snaps shut that i found at the dollar store. I made a mini pillow out of muslin and batting. Then because it was very lightweight i put a stone on the bottom with hot glue. With the white fabric i can see the pins and because it snaps closed i can take it anywhere and not lose my pins. Plus it keeps "little fingers" out of it!!!

Open when i need it

Good creative idea. I used to have a cat that would pull all the pins out of my pincushion and drop them on the floor. That would have saved a lot of picking up!

GABBYABBY 10-29-2011 08:24 AM

That would make a great travel pincushion. Hmmm, might have to make one, TFS.

Great idea! And also a great take along pincushion for those to go projects. I'm always taking something with me to work on.
