Miniature Cloisonné-Style Pin Cushion - Upcycled Miniature Ceramic-Turned-Pin Cushion - Handmade - Your Choice of One
We recently found this collection of colorful, miniature vases designed to look like beautifully detailed cloissone. They're so small, we're not sure what they were originally designed for, but we thought they'd make sweet little pin cushions. And to be clear, because of their size, these miniatures are more decorative than functional. They do work as pin cushions but won't hold as many as a standard size would. Still, we think they'd make a pretty gift for anyone who loves sewing.
To create the pin cushion, we weighted the bottom a bit, then took some vintage cotton fabrics to augment the base, and stuffed them with pillow stuffing.
This listing is for one. Your choice.
