Make a Human Head Pin Cushion
Use your head!
A fun way to make a pin cushion that is unexpected but oh-so-clever is to use a human head for the design. For fun, Karen at The Graphics Fairy, took this clip art and instead of numbers, labeled the parts of the brain related to crafts. Evidently some of us have brains that are divided into the following portions: Sew, Create, Make, Craft, Glue, Art, and so on. So fun, and so true.
This clip art would also lend itself to making sachets, a throw pillow (stop tossing my head around, please!), or appliqued to a tee-shirt.
