Mason Jar Pin Cushion Tutorial

I wanted to share this fun, easy Mason Jar Pin Cushion Tutorial with all of you.  I have been trying to get my craft space organized over the last few days (trying being the operative word).  I have a big stash of these mason jars that I got super cheap at the thrift store (.39 cents each).  I am going to be using them to store all of my extra trims, buttons, ect.  I decided to add a pin-cushion to the top to make them dual purpose (and I think it makes the jars so fun and decorative)! 

So if you need some extra storage, grab a mason jar and give this tutorial a try!

Mason Jar Pin Cushion Tutorial

Supplies:

1 Mason Jar (any size) - with lid

Scrap piece of fabric

Scrap piece of cardstock/scrapbook paper

Glue gun (or strong craft glue)

Pencil

Scissors

Fiberfill

Directions:

Trace a circle around the interior lid of the mason jar onto your cardstock.

Cut out the circle with your scissors.

On the wrong side of your fabric, freehand draw another circle (about 2 inches wider than your lid center.)

Using your scissors, cut out the circle.

Here is your completed fabric circle.

Place your fabric (wrong-side up) over the exterior lid of the mason jar.

Center the circle over the lid exterior.

Place your fiberfill in the middle of the fabric circle.

Push the fiberfill into the fabric, pushing it through the lid exterior.

Take the lid interior and push it into the lid exterior.

This is what it will look like when you lock the lid center into the lid exterior.

Now hot glue your fabric down over the lid center to set it in place.

This is what it will look like when all of your fabric is glued down.  Don't worry - this doesn't need to be neat, as you won't be able to see this when the pin cushion is complete.

Now to cover up the fabric edges, take the cardstock circle that you cut earlier and glue it into the center of the lid.

And there you have it - the completed Mason Jar Pin Cushion!

Cottage Mama's Note:  I tied a pretty pink ribbon around the top of the jar.  I plan to make several of these to store all of my colored trims.  I used pink & cream Amy Butler fabric because this jar will hold all of my pink trims.  I also used Amy Butler scrapbook paper for the inside of the lid.
