You will need:
1 Almond Can
1 piece scrap fabric 11.5×2.5
1 scrap fabric 5″ diameter
Mod Podge
I saved some 6oz. flavored almond cans (we’ve got lots 
), not knowing how I was going to use it….
Well, as they say, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree (I know that is usually used for a mother/daughter reference, but you get the drift) because although my craft does not involve sewing, I can use it in the sewing room!

I started by cutting a piece of scrap fabric the circumference of the can, basically 11.5 x 2.5, and mod-podged it to the side.
I stuffed the can with fiberfill
Then took my 5″ diameter piece of fabric and filled it in my hand…this will give some loftiness to the cushion…
And stuffed it down into the sides, making sure to center the circle
I didn’t want to just throw the plastic top away, so I cut it out in the shape of a funky flower
…and mod-podged some fabric to it. I used a cute piece of felt for the flower center
And glued the funky flower to the pincushion
I love it and it looks soooo cute in my sewing room

I really NEED one of these… I'm using a little plastic box that is super annoying right now.
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave today [01 Jul 12:00pm GMT]. Thanks, Maria
What a cute idea.
It made me giigle a little to realize this pincushion was made without any sewing involved. This is my kind of project! Very cute!
Oh that is a terrific idea!! So creative!
I love this!!!! Thanks for sharing1
I wonder if it would be possible to make the lid of the can into the pin cushion, then the can itself could still store things inside. Maybe hot glue the fabric to the underside of the lid and cut a cardboard circle out to cover the fabric edges fitting it into the lid? I don't know, I tend to over-engineer things, so maybe I should just leave well enough alone.
Love the idea!
I love this idea. Adorable. My dollar store standard 'apple' pincushion is so boring. (or is it a tomato?) Need to make something cute like this soon!
You have such good taste in fabric and ideas.
