These are so cute and I love repurposing antiques.

I love using antiques for pincushion. Always one of a kind.

[@aquiltingtale6230]

Yes! They're fun to search for too!

[@gingeremerson9161]

I can never find cute antiques like that. Cute!

[@aquiltingtale6230]

I got real lucky the day I found the two pups. It took several antique stores to find something I really wanted. :)

I never thought of using antique planters! They are adorable

[@aquiltingtale6230]

I agree, Wendy!

Gorgeous finds. My Sister has been doing this for years..she has quite a collection of pin cushions...you will cherish and enjoy yours also. The information on the iron was interesting. Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial ❤️ the black and white dog is adorable...and multi purposes..dish in front to hold clips..pin cushion...backhole you could keep friction pin or glue stick...can't wait to see what you decide ❤

[@aquiltingtale6230]

Thanks, Pam! I definitely use the black and white dog a lot. My fabric marking pencils/markers are in the back hole, and Wonder Clips in the front dish (and top of head). Wish I could see your sister's collection. Shopping for unique holders is part of the fun of making these pin cushions!

Love your use of antiques! Thru the years, I’ve found using pieces of wool for pin cousins has worked best. It does not absorb humidity as walnut shells, sand or rice. The wool scraps are excellent for sharpening pins as well

[@aquiltingtale6230]

Ooh, thanks for the tip, Helen! I have some scrap wool. I'll have to try that next! :)

Beautiful I'm going to check out charity shops for a dog ornament - and put a little back pack on the back in brown with a false pocket on top - that's my plan for a pin cushion Thank You😊

[@aquiltingtale6230]

That sounds so cute, Joyce!
