Oh how lucky am I!! I had Twinkie for a swap partner and she sent me the cutest Mr. and Mrs. Santa pincushions with beaded pins in each. Very clever, glad my camera is straightened out so I can add a picture. Thank You Twinkie, Happy Holidays to you all

Great idea Twinkie! I will have to look around my house for things like those. Darling pincushions. :-D
Ms. Shawn & SewnSew: I will try to get your pincushions to the post office on Friday or Saturday. Roads are icy here. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

So, unless the photo lab can obtain the pictures from my memory chip, no photos until I get a new camera. Thanks so much ZQuilter. You are soooo talented.
Pin cushion, scissor holder, sachet and candies minus a couple that my DH had to have before picture was taken LOL

Yes, they are so easy to make. I use the decorative long pins with the colored (Pearlized, yellow or white) heads. Just pick out your colored bead (I prefer the star beads because they look like flowers). Place the pin thru the hole and just before the bead meets the head of the pin, drop a dab of hot glue. This keeps the shaft of the pin from being covered with glue. Then pull the pin tight with the bead. And Wahlah, you have a decorated pin.
