If you have a sewer in your life, then you have sewing pins. And while sewing pins are, primarily, workhorses, there’s no reason they can’t be fun as well. These cute little spool pins make a great adornment for your pincushion while still remaining useful. While we wrapped ours in patterned tape, you could use paper, ribbon or even thread to decorate yours!

Things you’ll need:
Mini spools
Washi tape or ribbon
Craft glue
Bead headed sewing pins (quilting/corsage pins)

Things to do:
1. Wrap the tape or ribbon around the center of the spool, filling the space where the thread would go on a real spool. Optionally you can cover the top of the spool as well.

2. Add a generous amount of glue to the top of the pin and insert it into the hole, just inside the bottom of the spool.


3. Allow the glue to dry before using.
