DIY Self Sharpening Magnetic Pin Cushion

How to make a DIY pin sharpening, magnetic pin cushion. This is my ultimate pin cushion. Not only does it sharpen my pins and i put them in, but i can also pick up any that are dropped on the floor without having to struggle to find them in the carpet.

With the speed of this video, I saw exactly nothing except for fast moving tatooed hands. Diskike!

Oh I’m sorry, I should make a longer version. Here’s an explanation. First create a half sphere. Get some fine steel wool for the centre, this is what sharpens. Then add some wadding or stuffing around that, then circle of fabric around them. Add a small plastic lid at the bottom then stitch to enclose the half sphere. Then u need a metal lid, slightly larger than the plastic lid. Use hot glue to join the half sphere to the metal lid. I also got glued a piece of black trim around the edge to neaten it up. And that’s it. It worked so well.

Thanks for the explanation. I too love your idea but needed instructions❤

Lools like a great idea! Video was a tad bit too fast for me as a newbie. Was that a plastic container with a lid... where the steel wool and poly fill went in after being sewn up?

[@jolenedeanne825]

​@NicoleHerrickD Hi, Love the idea! Did you sew the fabric to the lid, too? I would like to make one of these, but I'm not sure I am understanding the steps.

[@NicoleHerrickDIY]

@@jolenedeanne825 just the lid off a plastic container, slightly smaller than the metal tin lid.

Sorry I just used what I had around the house.

How is it auto sharpening xD

[@NicoleHerrickDIY]

Each time you push a pin back in, it sharpens it on the steel wool.
