A "Cush" Job...


These old cork jar tops like their new "cushy" job as pretty little pin cushions.



They served their practical purpose for many years.


The cork lids, a few little vintage plates, some strong glue and assorted little sewing goodies...



...all come together to make this "pin cushion".



If I was "sew-er", I'm sure this would work slick as "intended"...I'm not...but soon, I hope :)



Until then I'll use it on my dresser to display vintage pins and such.
I think they'll enjoy their new "cushy" job sitting around "looking pretty"...don't you?

    I love it when you can take an everyday item like the cork top and turn it into something that is not only useful but so very pretty! Wonderful project!
