You need a cookie cutter (Michaels) , some fiberfill, a scrap, some white glue, & some felt.

Turn the cookie cutter over and stuff with fabric & fiberfill.

Tuck it in carefully. I didn'tbother to stitch.

Glue a felt heart on the back & weigh it down to dry.

Decorate in your own wonderful way. The hardest part is getting the sticker off. I love all of you!

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

You're so creative! I just love all your pincushions and have been making some with your help. I've been scrounging thrift stores for different types of things to use to make pincushions with. My DH says that I'm going to have to get rid of some of my other collections if I'm going to start a pincushion one. LOL

I love to take them to quilting retreats and give them away.

This is so brilliant, you could use any shape plastic cookie cutter, when I think of all the ones I've passed up at yard sales. Thanks so much for the wonderful idea.

Dotty, these are just too,too, too cute........You could make them for ea. Holiday....

ssnare 02-09-2011 12:35 PM

You are so clever and creative. Thank you for all of your suggestions. Hugs.

seymoore 02-09-2011 12:36 PM

Question, the side you put the felt on - is that the top or bottom?

4L 02-09-2011 02:28 PM

I think before adding the felt heart you could tuck in a few of those glass candle rocks that you can get from the dollar store to give the cushion a bit of weight. Why couldn't other shapes of cutters be just as cute as these are but go with other seasons...eggs? pumpkins? the list goes on...

JEM65 02-09-2011 07:00 PM

Dotty - you are so crafty! You always come up with the cutest ideas! Thanks for sharing with us!

ProudGranny5 02-10-2011 04:04 AM

Dotty... too cute!!!
Just remembered a pm from you about your friends... since you are such a creative person... why not use a seashell for your friends & fill it the same way using your seashell fabric??
Just a thought, as I remember you saying they love the ocean!
Keep those ideas of yours coming... Love them!
Bookmarked! :P

great idea and I already have the cookie cutters. I think I will make one of these for my stepdaughter, she just started quilting.

Psychomomquilter 02-10-2011 05:21 AM

That is ablsolutely cool! Thanks! now to go to the store and buy a cookie cutter, and I
d bet it would work for a shamrock and those other little things , what an idea!! thanks!

janiesews 02-10-2011 05:56 AM

Those are darling. I have had good luck using GooGone to remove labels.

ProudGranny5 02-10-2011 06:11 AM

Forgot to menton.... baby oil removes stickers/labels/price tags! Learned this by accident years ago & have used it ever since! Always have a small travel bottle just for that purpose!

Wendy Keys 02-10-2011 07:31 AM

Dottie you are a whiz.

annev 02-10-2011 11:57 AM

Cute Pincushions! If you use the glass things for weight, you might dull your pins when you stick them in. Go one better and make a little sack to put in the middle of the pincushion and fill it with those ground pecan or walnut shells that you can buy at a pet store. They are in the section for using for scattering in the bottom of a cage. The shells have an oil to them that will smooth your pins and needles and keep them sharper.

Just an idea! Hugs, Anne in AZ

Daisydoodle 02-10-2011 12:16 PM

Bookmarked! What a cute idea for a little girl learning to sew. Have her make her own pin cushion! Love it

So cute! A great idea for gifts. I like to give the women in my life something handmade for V day. These are just darling. I have made them needle keepers and the scissor and small pincushion on a ribbon. Hmmm. I really like these. Thank you and Happy Valentine's Day to you and to all our friends on the Board. Love you guys.
