\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A while ago, I showed you how to make a\u00a0bottlecap pincushion<\/a>\u00a0from the lid to a 2 liter bottle, a bit of wool felt and some wool stuffing. These are some of my favorite things to make. I\u2019ll spend some time making a whole bunch of the pincushions and then spend several weeks embroidering them in the evening while the Hubs and I watch Outlander.<\/p>\n\n\n

Now I want to show you how to embellish one like a little springtime garden. This is my current favorite pincushion and it travels around in my embroidery basket.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Stitch this along with me! Here\u2019s what you will need:

Use the instructions from my\u00a0bottlecap pincushion tutorial<\/a>\u00a0to make a pincushion base. Use a light green felt for the bottom part and a light blue for the cushion part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also need 5 circles of light pink felt- these are about 3\/8inch in diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And embroidery floss in dark green and dark pink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pin the tiny circles evenly around the edge of the pincushion, right above the base.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Use the dark pink embroidery floss first. I use 3 strands of floss at a time. Knot the floss and hide it in the base. Have the floss come out the center of one of the pink circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a star stitch to attach the circle. Take the needle down right bedside the circle and then have it come back up in the center again. Repeat this until you have 5 or 6 stitches radiating out from the center of the circle. Then move on to the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Once the circles are attached, use dark green embroidery floss to make stems. I\u2019m not sure if this is a certain type of stitch. I would just call this a bunch of isolated straight stitches. This is what the stems should look like: \\|\/<\/p>\n\n\n

And that\u2019s pretty much all these is to it. Make sure to hide your knots and enjoy your pincushion!!<\/p>\n\n\n
