Cute Pincushions From Small Containers...Part One!

 Just a quick post this morning.  The Granddaughters are visiting from Idaho Falls for General Conference Weekend.  Their Daddy does translation for some of the speakers.  He went to Guam as a missionary and speaks one of the dialects.

I wanted to show you three little pincushions I made re-purposing small containers I found out thrifting.  The first was a thistle dish missing its lid.  Thistles remind me of Scotland, a land I have visited twice...such a romantic place, full of mists and music.

A Cute Vintage Santa Mug.

It's small...less than 3" tall.

Vintage Baby Planter

The kind new mothers used to get as gifts in the hospital.

I used a pink striped fabric. It's a little hard to see in the pic.

I hot-glued mini pom-pom (cute!) trim around the back top edge of the planter.

I plan to make some from vintage baby shoes at a later date.
