Pin cushion magnet is a fun sewing project during the school holidays. This is another boredom buster that doesn’t require a lot of materials nor effort to complete.
First, gather your materials:
- fabric scraps
- toy stuffing
- needle
- thread
- magnet
- glue stick
- heat gun
- buttons or flowers for embellishment.
Here’s how:
- Trace petals on your fabric. 2 pieces are required for each petal. Trace on the ‘wrong’ side of the fabric so that you don’t see the pencil marks. I made 4 petals to my flower
- Sew all the petals together and fill with toy stuffing before closing each petal shut
- Arrange the petals and sew them together at the center
- To cover the center, attach a flower or button or other embellishments that you have
- Attach a magnet at the back of the flower with glue stick and heat gun
I hope that you enjoyed this sewing inspiration. I’d love for you to give this a go and make a pin cushion magnet of your own. Let me know how yours went. Will you be making a few to give to friends too? Wrap it up in tissue or put it in a box for a beautiful touch.
There are gorgeous papers and packaging inspiration at my online store so be sure to check it out.
