I made this last week. It's quick and easy to do. I found the idea on the website that this creation is linked to! Here is how it is made: You take a can (for my part I used an empty salmon can) Clean well so that it does not smell (this is obvious) Cut a piece of circle fabric a bit larget than the circumference of your can. Then apply glue to the bottom of the can and the beginning of the sides and glue the round fabric so that it is on the bottom and beginning of the sides. Cut a rectangle piece the lengh of the can. If you don't want to finish the can with a "glued seam" you should make it wider so that it goes over the top sharp side. If not, it can end at the edge and then you can cover the edge with another fabric. Finally build yourself a mini-cushion that you will stuff with either cotton or with other scraps of fabric you do not need anymore. Spread glue everywhere inside your can and stuff the cushion in there. Eh Voilà! Let dry and you have yourself a nice personnalized Pin Cushion!
