  Step 1

  so i found these flower fun cups by wilton and they were so adorable i had to do something with them, and i'm always losing my needles...of course that meant i had to turn them into pin cushions!

• 

  Step 2

  Once you get all your materials together, you'll need to make a circle of fabric about three times the size of the cupcake holder. i traced a giant mug to make my circle.

• 

  Step 3

  stich aruond the edge of your circle. one you get all the way around, cinch it a little

• 

  Step 4

  now fill your partiallty sinched circle with the sand. keep cinching as you go, and be careful- this part can get messy!

  you use coarse sand because it helps keep your needles sharp.

• 

  Step 5

  once you've filled your circle as much as you can, cinch it all the way and sew it closed.

• 

  Step 6

  now time to make the cherry on top! pick out your favorite button and make a stem for it out of wire

• 

  Step 7

  look how cute!

  you can either thread the wire through the fabric, or just glue the finished cherry on top

• 

  Step 8

  now, i have a picture of me hot gluing the cushion into tyhe cup, but i found that hot glue isn't strong enough to hold a bag of sand. sobo glue, however, works wonderfully, even though it takes a lot longer to dry- about 20 minutes

  Step 9

  now all you have to do is put your needles in their brand new cushion!
