I want to make an assortment of pin cushions for party favors. I have not made these before and do not know what makes the best stuffing. What do you use for stuffing and what is your favorite pin cushion design ? Thank you for reading and hopefully responding to my post.

I love to make pin cushions they are a great project that you can use or share with others the one thing that I have noticed through out making the pin cushions is it is really important to get them well stuffed so that they are firm. Years ago I sat in on a class about making teddy bears and the instructor spent a lot of time talking about how to stuff your bear project and the importance of making sure that the filling is stable and does not shift around. We are not making beanie babies. By taking time and working your filling in you will have a superior end product that will be used and enjoyed.

I prefer magnetic pin cushions. I buy pretty saucers at the thrift store, then glue a couple strong magnets to the underside. The magnets are strong enough to hold the pins through the china. Functional, lovely and easy!
