how sweet it is!





i'm all for the recycled, inexpensive and fast crafts! and this one is no exception. i had a sweet little collection of mini-cake tins. which i've never used. and instead of them being pushed aside in my baking cupboard everyday, i decided to make them into sweet, little cupcake pincushions!


-find a print you like (i used a little girls outfit), cut it a little larger then the cake shape, stuff the tin with batting, lay the fabric on top and mold it to make a cupcake shape... then hot glue the fabric to the inside of the tin... and sew a little topping on.... i used a crude in and out stitch and an old button. this took me about an hour or so to make from start to finish. sweet in more ways then one!

Loving the molds. Great craft! I have a doll's suitcase full of old molds....love how many gazillion shapes and sizes they come in!

Those are so adorable! That would make such a cute gift for someone that sews, or even someone who doesn't......
