Gather Materials
To make a pincushion with a mason jar lid, you will need a few materials:
- A mason jar lid
- Fabric for the pincushion (about 6 inches in diameter)
- Fiberfill or stuffing material
- A needle and thread
- A hot glue gun
- Pins or sewing needles
- Optional: ribbon or embellishments for decoration
Prepare the Mason Jar Lid
Start by removing the metal disk in the center of the mason jar lid. You can do this by bending it back and forth until it loosens and can be pulled out. Set the metal disk aside for later use.
Cut and Sew the Fabric
Next, take your fabric and cut it into a circle that is about 2 inches larger in diameter than the mason jar lid. This will allow for some excess fabric to fold over the edges of the lid.
For example, if your mason jar lid is 3 inches in diameter, cut your fabric into a circle that is about 5 inches in diameter.
Once you have your fabric circle, fold it in half with the patterned side facing inward. Then, sew along the curved edge to create a pouch, leaving a small opening for stuffing.
Turn the fabric right-side out and use a needle and thread to close the opening with a small stitch or two.
Fill the Pincushion
Now it’s time to fill the pincushion with fiberfill or stuffing material. Start by inserting a small amount into the fabric pouch and pushing it down to the bottom. Continue adding more stuffing until the pincushion is firm and has the desired shape.
Once the pincushion is filled, gather the excess fabric at the opening and stitch it closed using a needle and thread.
Attach the Pincushion to the Mason Jar Lid
To attach the pincushion to the mason jar lid, apply a small amount of hot glue around the rim of the lid.
Place the filled pincushion on top of the lid, with the fabric-covered side facing up. Press down firmly to secure the fabric to the glue.
Allow the glue to dry completely, and your pincushion is ready to use!
