Today is the start of of the Pin-It! Blog Hop........those who have a love of pincushions are sharing our creations. Some simple (like mine) and I am sure there will be over achievers galore! I can't wait to go and look!
Thanks to Mdm Samm and our cheerleader Kristen @ Meadowbrook for hosting such a fun hop!
I am been overloaded with activity so my contribution is simple, multiple, quick & easy and I really like them!
I started with some tea light holders that got ruined while I removed the price tags....who knew the color was painted on and not in the glass? Really?
You burn things in them..hheeellooooooooo
I picked some cute fabrics and made little balls of fiberfill and glued away.....regular glue, not hot and this is what I got.................
I used linen and free-handed some embroidery.....a 1.5" circle is all I had to work with
The whole kit and kaboodle!
Go and visit all the other hoppers....I am sure you will be totally delighted with their creations! I'm going now!

Very clever use of these. Thank you for sharing. Looks like spring has sprung.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job..and thank you for sharing.. I am always in need of pin cushions in various areas of my home... and this is something I can do. Love it.
ReplyDeleteAnother over achiever here then! Embroidery on a 1,5" piece of fabric..... Incredible! The pincushions turned out amazing. Absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteDifferent idea, with the weight of the glass candle holder, the pin cushion should stay put.
ReplyDeleteHow cute and what a great way to be able to use the tea light holders!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Like that they have a heavy bottom. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's being creative! Love the idea :)
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute. I have many little tea light holders, too many to put out at once for candles. I can turn some into pin cushions too. Thanks for sharing. ANd I also remembered that I wanted to make some of those star trek bunnies for my little nephew. His parents love anything star trek!
ReplyDeleteHow cute are those!!! That's such a great idea. I especially love the little bee!
ReplyDeletesuch a great idea for pincushions!!
ReplyDeleteThose tea light holders are cute and made even cuter with the pincushion centers! I have some of that ladybug fabric...don't you love it when you see fabric you have that somebody else has too? Sweet embroidery too.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I love this idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I see some of my favorite fabrics in your samples, and they make me smile, too! Maybe that tealight accident was meant to be...
ReplyDeleteYour tea light holder/pin cushions are adorable...what a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and recycled to boot. Very cute and stable. Thanks for hopping with us

ReplyDeleteLovely pincushions! Very modern to give used or "ruined" things a new life!
ReplyDeleteLove the embroidered bee one!!
ReplyDeleteI love simple. Great use of those candle holders. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have some of these in my cabinet waiting for a use for the same reason as yours! I was afraid to burn tealights in them for fear of a fire. Thanks for the idea. These cute little things will have a new life shortly.
ReplyDeleteFrom trash to treasure-wow. Good save. I love them all, but the ladybug is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteOh, how sweet and clever! A little garden of pin cushions. I love them!
ReplyDeleteClever idea, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThey're so cute and you recycled, too. Genius, pure genius! :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes simple is best. Those little flowers look great! I would keep them sitting out all the time just because of how cute they are. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea! Super cute and sweet bee. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
ReplyDeleteLove the repurposed tea light holders. What a great idea. And yes I thought the color would be in the glass also. But now they are much prettier as pin cushions.
ReplyDeleteHappy quilting,
Shelia
What a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to make lemonade from lemons! If you hadn't told us, we would have thought that you planned it this way!
ReplyDeleteAw... these are so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable. I love to reuse an item for something else. Great job and really cute.Thank you for sharing with us.

What a great way to repurpose something that could have easily been thrown away. They are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that you made the tea lights into adorable pin cushions. I'd probably have put them aside (I'd have kept them and put them some where to take up space). I don't have any idea what your original intent was for the tea lights but they are absolutely adorable. I could certainly use one for my couple of pins (yes, I use two pins) as I sew hexies together. I am sewing a Grandmother's Flower Garden with 1" finished pieces. I use traditional piecing methods and I use a pin at each end and then take one out at a time. So, one of these would be perfect for this project. Thanks for participating and sharing your amazing creativity. I hope to see you in more hops very soon.
ReplyDeleteLove your pincushions. Where did you find the tea lights? These would be perfect gifts for a quilt retreat I am going to in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea for your pincushion. So pretty.
ReplyDeletecheers

Great idea to repurpose the tea lights! Simple but sweet. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour pincushions are sweet and l like that they have some weight to them. What a super way to recycle and make something so darn cute besides.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great idea! I love to be able to recycle things!
ReplyDeleteAdorable Pin-It's! Everyone is so creative when it comes to pincushions. I plan to make some for Christmas presents.

I absolutely love those pincushions! Very very nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use of some little glass flowers that even I have sitting unused in my drawer. Very cute pincushions. Thank you for a very fun hop...
ReplyDeleteVery nice job! Your pin cushions are very professional looking.
ReplyDeleteCute idea. I love the bee one best!!! Adorable.
ReplyDeleteHow creative you are...they are all adorable.
ReplyDeleteGotta say - the BEST use yet!! Might just have to try this! Got some nice pink flowers that would look awesome on my quilting table.
ReplyDeleteso pretty
I love these - so cute and fun!
ReplyDeleteThese would make perfect little gifts for your sewing/quilting friends! Very innovative and well done!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I LOVE my little Ladybug! Thank you Miss Crafty!
ReplyDeleteHow clever! Nice pincushions.
ReplyDeleteHi Regena I have had this with coloured glass as well, especially if you wash them in the dishwasher. But what a great use for them they look great. Susie x
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute. While stupid, it is probably cheaper to use clear glass and color them after they cool.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, Trekkie rabbits... anyway, love the use of the candle holders, that is so creative! Thank you for sharing!
