Needle cushion in the form of a comb
The do-it-yourself pincushion is easily made in the form of various forms, for example, in the form of a comb. This will require threads, scissors, a needle, padding, felt.
The comb needs to be traced around the contour. Then cut out the main element and a smaller oval for the needles.
The main element should be transferred twice to dense felt. Transfer the oval to a soft felt of a different color once. Now sew the oval to the main part of the "comb". But not completely, because this part needs to be filled with padding polyester, and then the hole is sewn up. Both parts are sewn together with a buttonhole seam. The result is a pincushion comb.
Creative needlewomen are not faced with the question of how to make a needle cushion with their own hands, and even faster and easier as possible. Another idea of a needle cushion is concentrated in a lipstick case (preferably hygienic).
So, you need: a lipstick case, white gouache, paints, contour paints, varnish, brushes, foam rubber (or a piece of woolen fabric), PVA glue.
The case is freed from lipstick residues. The barcode is peeled off from the cap. The cap and case are degreased. Then everything is covered with white gouache. Leave to dry.
Now you need to draw a sketch for the cap and paint the cap. When dry, varnish. Finally, put a piece of foam rubber or woolen cloth in the case where the lipstick was. Before that, smear the walls of the case with PVA glue. It's time to put the needles in.
Pin cushion in the form of a casket with a pillow
To make it, you will need thick cardboard, fabric, synthetic winterizer, decorative tape, filling in the form of rice grains for a pillow, bindweed braid, beads, sequins.
The basis of such a needle bed is made of thick cardboard, which will be the "building material" for the box. One square (for example, 7x7 cm) and four rectangles (7x9 cm) should be cut out of cardboard. These details are covered with padding polyester and trimmed with fabric.
Further, the walls and the bottom are sewn manually with a blind seam. It is not necessary to sew the walls together so that the needle bar can be folded out. In this case, the inner walls will also serve as a place for needles and pins.
Now a 7x7 cm pillow is being sewn (it is the lid for the box). It is required to fill it with filler, for example, grains of rice, from which the needles do not dull. Moreover, in the process of sticking the needles into such a filler, they are also sharpened.
The pillow needs to be trimmed with a 2 cm wide rim. The collar is obtained by sheathing a strip of cardboard with fabric. It is sewn to the pillow. By trying on the lid to the bottom, you can adjust the side.
The moment has come for decoration, as which you can use a decorative ribbon, braid-string, as well as sequins with beads. Here's what happened.

Beautiful needle beds and their history
Every home has a large number of sewing needles, although we are often not professional seamstresses. But no one can do without them and therefore they must be stored correctly so as not to look for the right needle every time. For storing needles, you can make a beautiful pin cushion. It can be simple in appearance or fantasized, it can be decorated so that it will be a beautiful interior decoration.
One of the most indispensable things for sewing and needlework is the needle bar. This is a case or pad for needles and pins used in sewing. In ancient times, when the fabric was just beginning to spread, the beds were made using any fabric and paper, which were shifted among themselves. But only rich people could afford them. Later, the needle beds were made of wood or ivory, and between them was a velvet fabric, where pins and needles were kept. Later, when people learned to melt metal, the basis for the needle beds was made of tin, silver, gold, which also only wealthy people could afford, the poor made the needle beds from scrap materials.
Needle cushions are often created by handlers for decorative purposes. They can be of a simple shape - a square, a circle, a heart - or complex: in the form of a handbag, a figurine of an animal, a flower. A simple homemade needle bed can be made of cardboard, printed material, for example, cotton wool or foam rubber, fabric. Needle cushions are decorated with embroidery, applique, and knitting can be used instead of fabric.

It seems very easy to sew a needle cushion in the form of a square cushion. But the needlewoman always wants something unusual and it is even necessary for creative inspiration. More sophisticated versions of needle beds provide for sewing soft toys in the form of hedgehogs and other animals. But if there is absolutely no time for sewing toys, but urgently needs it, then you can sew a needle case in a matter of minutes. In this master class, we will sew a round needle cushion that resembles a flower.
For sewing we need:
cotton 100%;
threads;
sewing needle and large needle;
synthetic winterizer;
scissors;
pencil;
beads for decoration;
glue gun.
We will also use threads to drag the pillow, dividing it into sectors that imitate flower petals. You can take some other material for this purpose, for example, a waxed cord, tape, etc. The main thing is that this material is very durable and does not tear.
Fold the fabric in two layers with the right side inward. Draw a pencil around a round object, the diameter of which coincides with the desired size of the pad. In the master class, the diameter is 10 cm. Cut out the workpiece with scissors, leaving allowances.
We will connect the two parts with a basting stitch, so that it is convenient to sew further.
Sew the two parts completely with a seam seam, making the same stitches and tightening them tightly. Can be sewn on a typewriter.
We draw out the thread with which the details were swept away. We make an incision 3-4 cm only on one side of the fabric in the center.
We turn out the workpiece, straighten the edges and begin to fill it evenly with padding polyester. We begin to do this, laying pieces of padding polyester from the edge and closer to the center until we fill the pillow end-to-end.
Sew the incision when finished stuffing the pad. It may not turn out quite perfect - it depends on the quality of the fabric. But we will hide all the imperfections of the seam with threads and decorate with beads.
We take a large needle, thread a very long thread, which needs to be folded in half. Tie a knot at the end of the thread. We begin to divide the pillow into sectors. To do this, insert the needle in the center and remove it from the back side, then thread it again from top to bottom and tighten it well. For one such strip, we make three circles and continue, going to the opposite side. First, we close the seam with threads, and then move on. We make sure that the needle constantly falls into the same hole both from the top and from the bottom.
If the thread runs out and you haven't tightened the required number of sectors yet, just tighten the knot against the fabric and cut the thread. Thread the needle again and continue to pull.
You can make as many sectors as you like. It all depends on the diameter of the pad.
A metal sewing tool - a needle, is available at any housewife. Usually there are more than one needles, they differ from each other in thickness, size and purpose.
