Hi, these are wonderful teacup pincushions. I don't have that many teacups, but if I did, I would certainly try creating one of these myself. Perhaps one day I may 🙂
Have a wonderful Teacup Tuesday!
Warmest, Brenda
Thank you for your fab post about tea cup pin cushions. The last one is very elegant.
I love making pin cushions too. But I haven't done a tea cup yet.
Thank you for sharing with us today.
Hugs,
Terri
You are pretty inspiring……now we'll all be headed to the Goodwill to get cups to make pin cushions out of! They are great and loved your post this week!

Cute little teacup pincushions! Thank you for sharing. Very clever. Connie
I really enjoyed all the teacup pincushions you found. Just goes to show what things you can find when you're looking. Great tea cup post.
Hello- I have a pincushion teacup I made out of a chipped teacup once upon a time. I love the first one and the idea of putting a tape measure around it and gluing buttons on the sides. That's just plain cute. Take care.
Thank you for stopping by and visiting me on my first Teacup Tuesday.
The teacup pincushions are beautiful…and a very unique idea. My favorite one is the last one.
I have created teacup topiaries. I will have to post a photo one of these weeks.
Blessings,

These are all so cute. I am sure it is easy to make but I am allergic to sewing and irons and only like to play with FLOUR:-)
