I made a pin cushion for my wrist cause I got tired of reaching over to get a pin. You make it the same way you would the regular way ,but measure your wrist and then take a piece of elastic and add about 1 1/2 " to sew it together to make it a circle Then slip stitch your pin cushion to the elastic circle. That's all there's to it. I've also made a ring,but it don't hold many pins. I look in the catalogs and then think outside of the box of the way I can make things for a lot less money. You can go to any lumber supply store and they will give you their wood dust(I think that's what's it's called).They just throw it away.
