Tea Cup Pin Cushion


"Tea Cup Pin Cushion"
I love my tea cups...and I love looking at them but I only get to
see them when I'm sipping tea...and in warm weather
that isn't to often...so I turned my smallest tea cup
into an adorable pin cushion!
Now I can look at any time I want to...and it looks 
so pretty sitting in my work space!
Super simple to make and beautiful to look at!
Take some poly fill and wrap some pretty fabric around it,
stuff inside your favorite tea cup...that's it!
