I used a min-can of green chilis (much smaller than a tuna can). This was my first attempt at sewing and I am very proud that it turned out perfect! Thanks for the cute ideas and beginner-proof instructions! :)EGrebenc13https://www.blogger.com/profile/06386304037192563504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-35941307963975071072011-04-25T00:14:17.811-05:002011-04-25T00:14:17.811-05:00thanks for this great idea! just made one with my ...thanks for this great idea! just made one with my little girl as a helper - so quick and easy!Imbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17610577117632582221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-6468940352583329652011-02-16T04:58:08.977-06:002011-02-16T04:58:08.977-06:00That's a clever one!That's a clever one!Aniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05021577856986384314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-84272950294735540932009-09-25T07:15:28.282-05:002009-09-25T07:15:28.282-05:00When I was a very small girl, my great grandmother...When I was a very small girl, my great grandmother and I made similar pin cushions out of Tuna cans. We kept part of the lid attached and covered it, we stuffed the inside of the lid and made it stand up, so it sort of looks like a chair. Still my favorite pin cushion! My other favorite pin holding contraption is the metal sucrets box my great aunt gave me to hold my quilting pins! Thanks for sharing this, now I can make one with my little girl!Tracybug Creativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515262179190947014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-66283265982212016332009-05-11T13:49:00.000-05:002009-05-11T13:49:00.000-05:00Hi,
