Step-by-step guide to making a magnetic pincushion
Are you tired of losing your pins during your sewing projects? A magnetic pincushion might just be the solution you need. Follow these steps to make your own magnetic pincushion:
Gather your materials
You’ll need a few things before you get started:
- A small metal tin (such as an empty Altoids tin)
- Magnetic tape or sheet
- Spray adhesive
- Fabric
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Optional decorations (e.g. ribbon, buttons)
Cover the tin with fabric
Cut a piece of fabric slightly larger than the metal tin. Use the spray adhesive to attach the fabric to the tin, wrapping it around the edges and gluing it in place.
Add the magnetic tape or sheet
Cut a piece of magnetic tape or sheet to fit inside the tin. Use the hot glue gun to attach it to the bottom of the tin.
Decorate (if desired)
Add any optional decorations, such as ribbon or buttons, to personalize your pincushion.
Start using your magnetic pincushion
Your magnetic pincushion is now ready to use! Simply stick your pins to the magnetic surface and enjoy a clutter-free workspace.
