As you know, no house can do without a needle. But, unfortunately, they can easily get lost and pose a danger to others. To prevent such troubles from happening, it is better to get a pincushion, and, moreover, own production. It’s nice when this piece of furniture looks unusual and aesthetically pleasing, delights others, and inspires the owner to new achievements in the field of needlework.

Of course, you can buy a pincushion in a store, but a handmade product will never compare with the purchased product. And the variety of ideas for pincushions is so huge that every needlewoman will be able to choose a model to suit her taste. In addition, this extremely important item of sewing accessories is often made from leftover fabric, lace, a piece of felt or scraps, which does not require any special costs. But the process of creativity and creation small work art will bring a lot of pleasure and positive emotions.

The selection of today's material describes various ideas for making needle beds, ranging from the simplest and most basic to more complex and elaborate products.

The master classes and recommendations for creating needle beds presented in the article will make the process simple and accessible even for beginning craftswomen. Thematic selection of photos and detailed video The lesson will definitely inspire you to create a new masterpiece in the form of a home pincushion.

By the way, this handicraft item is perfect as a gift or present for any representative of the fairer sex.

While sewing, it is very convenient to have a pincushion on hand to prevent the loss of a needle or sewing pins. Pincushions come in a variety of sizes, textures and shapes. It could be a simple pillow, a tied mushroom or cactus, or it could be an elegant hat or a stylish mannequin. In this case, it all depends on the desire, skill and availability of the necessary materials.

Simple DIY needle beds

Perhaps the simplest will be pincushions - pads that are easy to make without any patterns or special tools.

You need a piece of fabric, filler (sintepon, cotton wool) and a needle and thread. But even in such light hand-sewn needle cases, there is room for flight of fancy. By sewing on buttons, beads or beautiful braid, embroidering initials or making a rosette from a thin ribbon, you can completely transform a model of a pincushion that seems so simple at first glance.

Here is the simplest example of making a round needle bed:

a circle is cut out of cardboard (for the stability of the future pin stand);
a piece of fabric is prepared larger size than a circle of cardboard; slightly tightened with a simple seam along the edge of a circle of fabric;
a padding polyester is placed in the fabric, and a cardboard circle is placed on top;
Having connected the parts (you can additionally glue the fabric to the cardboard) with stitches by hand, fix the product around the cardboard frame;
The pincushion is decorated with beads, beads, and thin braid.

A variation on the theme of a round pincushion will be “pumpkins” or “flowers”.

This model does not require a cardboard circle. Two round parts of the same shape are sewn together, stuffed with soft material and decorated with large stitches. At the end of the work, decorate with improvised means (a beautiful small button, a bright ribbon).

Another interesting and convenient device for a seamstress would be a needle bed with a fixing tape on the arm. This can be a thick thick elastic band or Velcro tape.

Such pincushions can be of different shapes: round, square, heart-shaped or, more complexly, in the shape of an animal, handbag, shoe.

Pincushions made in the shape of ladies' hats look original and elegant. Making them is not at all difficult, and the result will exceed all expectations.

DIY “hat” pincushion

Let's consider step by step wizard class of unusual pincushion “Hat with polka dots”, made by yourself:

Prepare a cardboard circle and a circle made of fabric twice as large - these are the future brims of the hat.
Carefully fix the fabric on the cardboard circle, making even folds.
Cut out a second circle of fabric equal in size to the cardboard pattern.
We place a small piece of padding polyester inside the fabric and sew it together.
We connect two parts (you can sew or glue).
We decorate the pincushion hat with a ribbon with a bow and small flowers (you can use beads, seed beads, decorative ribbon bows and artificial small flowers).
In 30-60 minutes you get an excellent device for needles and pins.

By changing the color or fabric of the product, you will get a completely new and beautiful masterpiece that you can admire endlessly. If desired, you can create hats different styles: gentle and aristocratic or modern and sporty. There are actually a lot of options. The main thing in this matter is to show your imagination and realize your plans.

DIY pincushions from a jar

Many needlewomen, when making needle beds, use improvised means such as jars. The jars are chosen whole, small, and, if possible, beautiful. But ordinary small jars of mustard or baby food. The main thing is to skillfully decorate the container and turn it into a “helper for a seamstress.” What is the convenience of such needle beds?

And the fact is that the jar, in addition to a pincushion, also serves as a storage place for small buttons or beads. Thus, the dual purpose of the product is fulfilled: practicality and beautiful appearance.

Let's consider detailed master class for making a pincushion from a jar with your own hands.

You will need a jar with a lid, thick fabric for the pad, decorative elements(linen ribbon, lace, paper flowers, silk ribbon), padding, glue, cardboard.

Jar with lid the right size, wash and dry.
Prepare a pincushion for decorating the lid.
To do this, cut a circle of fabric (twice the diameter of the lid) and a cardboard circle (equal to the diameter of the lid).
Put a little synthetic padding or padding polyester and a circle of cardboard for a strong fixation ( detailed instructions given in the description of making a round needle bed).
Using stitches, firmly tighten and fix the fabric around the cardboard circle, while pressing the padding.

Glue the finished pad to the lid of the jar (you can lightly sand the surface in advance for a tighter fit).
Decorate the jar with braid and ribbons using special glue.

To ensure that the jar remains functional, when decorating it, you should not seal the junction with the lid. It is enough to decorate the pad on the lid, for example, with an embroidered patch and matching braid.

If the manufacturer does not pursue such practical goals, the jar can be completely decorated, changing it beyond recognition.

DIY felt pincushions

A very popular material in modern needlework is felt and felt. Soft and pleasant to the touch, easy to sew, felt in crafts looks bright and original. Pincushions were no exception: products in the form of animals, plants, and household items cannot fail to evoke a smile and tenderness among others.

Current models will be cacti, whose needles will visually replace sewing needles and pins. This pincushion looks natural and is very easy to make.

First, you need to cut out all the parts of the needle bed from felt.

You can make the pattern yourself or use an approximate version, doubling it and printing it on a printer.

Approximate pattern of a do-it-yourself pincushion “Cactus”

On finished parts you need to leave seam allowances.
Sew all the parts, turn them inside out and fill them with some soft material (foam rubber, cotton wool, remnants of fabric or thread).

Connect the parts to obtain a whole product.

Decorate a cactus with a felt flower bright color, for example, burgundy or red with a button instead of a core, and the pincushion is ready!

Felt is a durable non-woven material with a soft, felt-like structure. It is very easy to work with because its edges do not fray and do not need to be further processed with an overlocker. It bends perfectly, glues, and has no back or face. And crafts made from felt are soft, slightly fleecy and very pleasant to the touch.

That is why felt pincushions have a kind of “homey”, warm atmosphere of perception and create real comfort in the home.

These funny and cute pincushions can be sewn from pieces of felt. By the way, the task is greatly simplified by the fact that now handicraft stores sell felt in small pieces, especially for crafts. And the color range is so diverse that you can easily choose the right shades, combining and combining “as your heart desires.”

DIY book pincushion

You can also make pincushion books from felt. They turn out to be very roomy and unusual. Well, everyone can decorate and transform such a “book” at their own discretion.

The main thing in such pincushions is to think about what the main frame will be made of and what decorative elements will be used. The book can be either whole or divided into halves, sewn by hand or on a sewing machine. A fundamentally important condition is the presence of soft felt in the middle of the book so that the needles can be easily fixed in the needle bed.

Pincushion books, the endpapers of which are decorated with embroidery, are popular. This unusual solution for a pincushion makes it look like a real mini-book or notebook. The design for embroidery is selected to be small, compact, and ornamented. Most often these are plant and floral motifs. The book is usually held together using silk ribbon. On the inside of the book, felt is either glued or sewn.

Thematic decorative elements used to decorate the “title page” (a pin, miniature scissors or a spool) can be easily purchased at specialized handicraft stores. Such details refresh the craft in their own way, giving it an individual character.

The clasp for a pincushion book can also be made in the form of a loop and a button. There can be two or more pages in such a “book”, depending on the need. They can be made entirely of felt or partially glued onto the base material.

The applique on the pincushion book is a stylish and fashionable decorative element.

If you don’t have felt on hand, you can sew a pincushion of this shape from another material: cotton, cotton or linen.

With this shape of the pincushion, it is convenient to take it with you when you go away or give it to your child for labor lessons. All sharp needles will be safely hidden in soft book. This is one of the main advantages of such a needle bed; all other models have an open look.

One of the most complex, but also the most attractive, is the mannequin-shaped pincushion. Graceful figures are often made in a romantic, vintage style, which makes them seem even more sophisticated and delightful.

Do-it-yourself pincushion “mannequin”

Such pincushions are made in full silhouette or on a footstool, using a variety of additional accessories. A beautiful hand-made pincushion, in addition to its direct purpose, will become a real interior decoration. Materials you may need are silk, velvet, corduroy, cotton, flannel, tulle and a variety of stylized accessories.
