DIY - Traveling Pin Cushion

This tiny traveling pincushion
is perfect for the traveling fiber artist.
 I made one of these for myself and it works 
wonderfully while I am sewing and traveling. 
It is only 2 1/14 x 1 1/2 inches. 
Would you like to make I of these? 
It is easy, you can use what you have on hand
 and it would be a great gift.
 You will need a small tin, scrap material,
glue, mod podge, cotton or some kind of stuffing,
needles, paint and what ever 
you want to use to decorate your tin.
Start by painting your tin inside and out.
Let it dry.
Then use mod podge to stick on your decorations.
Paint over your decoration with the mod podge.
Let dry.
Wrap your material around your cotton.
Sew a few stitches in the back
 of your material to form a cushion.
Glue your little cushion to the 
inside bottom of your tin.
No more needle worries while your traveling!
Your new traveling pin cushion
will keep you needles safe and handy.
