Tutorial: Altered Teacup Pin Cushion

****THIS VIDEO IS NOT INTENDED FOR ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18****
Hi friends! This is a tutorial on how you can alter your old teacups and turn them into beautiful pin cushions. This process is much more easier than it looks, and you can get very creative with your designs. I also have a tutorial on how to embellish the stick pins and have linked my tutorial for that below. I hope this video will be helpful to you, and thanks for watching.

Just adorable teacup pin cushions. The tea cups themselves add such character to the beautiful fabric and lace. Love it! Thank you for sharing.

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

Lovely pin cushion. What a great idea 🥰

[@donnabankstahl2457]

Dolly love your altered tea cup pin cushion. It is just gorgeous! I am a new subscriber and I can’t wait to see your other creations. You are an awesome teacher💞Just thrifted some tea cups and saucers today so this was perfect timing. Hugs from Fl💞🌴🦩😘

[@eileenhaughton3558]

can i use a sugar bowl to make my pin cushion

[@fitandactive4life]

Hello where did you get the mini white and red roses from the premade pin cushion ?

[@msmerle]

what's the point of the pantygose I've seen others just stuff the main fabric...what does the pantyhose do extra?

I think you are saying the Altered tea cup wrong but maybe you are making it your own style with its own name but if not check on the word Altered. You are not saying it right. In the English language its pronounced ALL.TERED

[@twostepgirl1]

Your tea cups are beautiful, thank you for the tip of the bottom fabric. It does make a big difference to the lace. Love the pattern of the cup and saucer.

[@craftsbypwilli2664]

Of course Dolly! I don't expect anything less than fabulous from you. You are so creative. I love how you all your teacups. I love love how shabby chic and feminine they are. I have a lot of tea cups so I want to give it a try, maybe I can make one for my Mother in-law. I like the idea of placing the pink piece at the bottom it really does stand out. I even love the designs on the saucer and teacup ☕️. I'm saving this video for creating one. Big hugs and big thumbs up. 😍🌺😊💕🤗

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

CraftsByPwilli Hello my beautiful friend! Thank you for your very lovely comments and I hope you are having a great start to your summer. You are so sweet but I can’t take credit for this as I had to go on YT and watch a bunch of talented women do their stuff with their creative teacups😊. Thank you for watching and I’m always so happy to see your little icon pop up in my comments. Sending big hugs your way😘❤️!!!

[@sandramiranda4212]

[@cornflowercrafts]

Hi darling Dolly! These altered teacups look fantastic. I am watching (listening) while I am working on my fabric flowers. You made a very good tutorial on these. You show us step by step, and encourage all of us to do our own thing with them. TYFS sweetie! xoxo

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

Love that you have no music. Xoxo

[@DawnHCreates]

Hi Dolly! Oh my word! I’m so thrilled you did a tutorial!!! I actually bought teacups a few years ago to do this and never did. You are right that a lot of the others were more over the top. This has just moved back up on my crafty wish list and I truly adore you’re more simplified approach. I hope you are well! Been away from crafting and KZbin for too long! We’re still doing projects at new house and trying to get done but will probably be a few more weeks since work has been extra busy too and I volunteered to help with vacation Bible school this week. Not enough hours in the day! Hugs my friend 💕

[@sandramiranda4212]

DawnH Creates , I always say that, not enough hours in a day. Congrats on your new home

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

Hello my friend! Oh my goodness, I can’t even imagine how busy you must be; I have moved a few times in my life and I know it’s a lot of work. I hope you are getting a lot accomplished sweetie. I’m sure you’re also looking forward to finally getting everything in order so that you can craft again. Thanks for watching and hope you’re getting a little relaxation time at vacation bible😘❤️

[@PaperConfessionswithCaraMia]

[@Sylkbuttafly]

I feel your pain. Some hot glue was dripping down and I didn't want it to hit the floor so I put my hand under it. What a blister I got. Lol. This altered cup is beautiful. Thanks for the video.

[@graciebeachbum137]

[@arcticglam3666]

Beautiful! I was laughing to myself thinking how I don't usually keep anything I craft simple so I'd be loading up that tea cup with tons of lace and pearls haha! But the simple elegance of how you did it is just fabulous & I love it! Your pals who will receive them will be thrilled :) Also great job on the stick pins & it was fun to see the stick pins I sent you appear in the video. Thank you for taking the time to show us how easy these are to create- hugs!

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

arcticglam Hello my friend! Your stick pins are such eye candy to me that I had to hold onto them for a while before I shared them, lol. Even though I have little room in my crafting area, I find it hard to let go of projects that friends will send to me so I hold onto them for a while😊. Thanks for the info sweetie, I had several people asking where to get the large stick pins so that is very helpful. Enjoy your day my dear😘❤️

[@sandramiranda4212]

arcticglam , where did you get those stick pins? I do have small ones that I got a Michael's. I'm looking for long stick pins. Thx

[@arcticglam3666]

Sandra pena I got them at JoAnn's in the floral section like where the foam blocks & accessories for floral are- I used a coupon since they don't really seem to go on sale

[@sandramiranda4212]

[@fastquilter600]

Lovely project and so Victorian. Thanks for sharing (I have been looking for altered cups and make mugs into pincushions. There are so many of them at the thrift shops...and some are so pretty and made of china as well.) What kind of pins do you thread the beads on to???

[@sandramiranda4212]

They are cute 2:10, and you made them Beautiful. I'll take some of that tea please

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

Sandra pena Lol, oh Sandra, you always make me laugh girl! I love tea parties, you know, any excuse to get together with friends and eat and I’m there, lol😆

[@tinaacord7798]

I'm a fan of your work. I have a question on your alterted teacup pincushion you made with a nautical theme. Underneath the cup, it looks like you have a piece of material, maybe with some irradescent netting over it then something on the edge of the material. It looks really nice. Would you mind sharing with me what you did under the cup?

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

tina acord Hello Tina and thank you so much for your support. What I used underneath the cup was a piece of the same fabric that I used over the cushion in the cup. The netting that you see over that fabric is actually the lace piece that is glued along the edges of the base bottom of the cup just like I did the other cup. I hope this makes sense sweetie, and let me know if it doesn’t and I will try to go into detail a bit more😊.

[@annroberts3635]

Fun

[@sandramiranda4212]

Lol they still sell them ( the nylons ). Thx for this tutorial, so cute

[@sandramiranda4212]

So cute Dolly, I thought that was her tail under the cup, like if she was hiding under the cup lol, I need a new prescription for glasses lol. They are beautiful.

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

Sandra pena Lol, now that you say that, I kind of see what you mean, hee-hee!!! Thanks for watching and commenting sweetie😘❤️

[@sandramiranda4212]

Crafty Mermaid Mom , Dolly I never got your email regrading the books from DT. I went to goodwill didn't find any tea cups.

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

Sandra pena Hi Sandra, I was hoping you could send me a direct message on IG; I could not locate you as there were more than one Sandra Miranda’s. Are you able to DM me on IG instead? I don’t have convenient access to my regular email is why. If not, I’ll email you tonight from home.

[@Gracie21]

Wonderful tutorial! Tfs, Dolly! I'm a new subbie from Rebecca Creates. :)

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

Gracie21 Hello Gracie! Thank you so much for your support and hope you’re having a great day sweetie😘❤️!!!

[@KathyJones-DustBunnyTrail]

Great minds think alike! I also made one of these recently. I found the cup and saucer at a garage sale and it turned out so cute. I love yours too! Mine looks different but also very alike as all my components are the same even the lace. I had been using a free video editor on my phone for a while, well when we changed phones it’s not compatible and I have not found another one I like that’s free. If you know of a good one please let me know, the ones I have found will not let you edit. So anyways... lol I have not made videos lately or I would show mine also. However I got my laptop fixed and I am going to try videoing on that I am just unsure how to show your stuff that people can see it? Anyway your cups are gorgeous and I am sure your recipients will love them! I also have been looking at garage sales for another pretty cup and saucer because I want to glue them together and make a bird feeder out of it for my garden. Hugs, Kathy

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

Kathy Jones - Dust Bunny Trail Hello sweet Kathy! Oh my goodness, I would love to see a picture of your finished teacup! I bet it’s beautiful😍. I hope you’ll be able to do a video soon, and I think the bird feeder teacup is a great idea; I have seen one of those on a past tutorial. If you make one, please do share a photo with me. Thanks for watching and commenting Sweetie, and hope you’re having a great day😘❤️

[@KathyJones-DustBunnyTrail]

Crafty Mermaid Mom That’s a great idea! I will put a pic or two on my IG. We are friends on there so you will be able to see it. Have a great day sweetie!

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

Kathy Jones - Dust Bunny Trail Yay!!!

[@sandramiranda4212]

I want to make one, could we use styrofoam? Sorry if u said that , I was commenting. Remember those granny faces ppl made using nylons? When u made your ball it reminded me of that. Lol. So far so good Dolly.

[@carmasters4493]

Ok z

[@sandramiranda4212]

I love all three. Do you know where I can find long stick pins? I got my instagram. It's under Sandra Miranda. Yes I'm interested. On the books. Your so cute with your tea parties

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

Sandra pena Hello! Sandra, I can’t find you on IG; there are a few Sandra Miranda’s. Will you please send me a Direct Message on IG? I’m easy to find; same name as KZbin with same mermaid photo.

[@CraftyMermaidMom]

Sandra pena I’m still looking for the long ones too and as soon as I can find some, I will definitely let you know. I’m holding those books for you; please send me a message on IG. 😊
