Welcome to the blog party! I’m having a blog party because of 2 reasons, I started my blog last January, so it’s a 1 year anniversary. And, I have over 200 followers! Thanks you so much for following me, you guys! it means alot!
Onto our first guest blog of the day- The Spotted Fox!
Hi and Hello! Kelly and Sara here from http://www.thespottedfox.com/. We are so honored to be doing a guest post on PunkProjects!
We have cooked up a super simple DIY project for crafters, seamsters, and teacup enthusiasts.. a 5-minute, no-sew, teacup pincushion!!
Here’s what you’ll need:
-12″ x 12″ scrap piece of fabric
-teacup
-handful of fiberfill/stuffing
-elastic hair band
:: Place your fiberfill in the center of your fabric scrap. Gather each corner of the fabric and bring together.. pushing the stuffing into the center of the square.
:: Using your elastic hair band, wrap around tightly forming a stuffing ball. Trim the excess fabric off the tail of your ball.
:: Push your stuffing ball into the teacup with the hair band inside (unseen). You can add a line of glue to the inside of the teacup for an extra sturdy hold if you’d like.
And that’s it!! Super quick, super simple, super cheap, and super AWESOME!
Enjoy!.. and be sure to check out The Spotted Fox for more DIY projects and other goodies.
Xoxo,

This is so fun and I love the old tea cups I've inherited, but would rather use a large mug for tea 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
This is adorable! Oh and I have that fabric but i'm too scared to cut into it because i love it too much!
Sweet and simple tutorial of a great item! Thanks so much
Love it!!
Can you or someone please tell me what that fabric is??? I must get some!
Thanks!
Adorable! And super cute blog, too. 🙂 I must come back for crafting inspiration.
cute cute cute. and a new excuse to go thrifting for cute mugs!
This would be great for kids to make as Mother's Day gifts. Cute! I'm including this in my Friday Favorites this week! By the way, I LOVE your blog background! 🙂
I have just started creating coffee cup pincushions. Yours is adorable. I found your blog from craftystaci's post.
Thanks it's so easy and so cute. Your blog is very interesting…
So sweet !! And, I have just the cup for it. Mom gave me one with a beautiful sentiment on it. But, the handle is weak and sounds like it may break off if it has one more hot drink or hot soapy water in it , again. I stopped using it for that and just set it on a shelf. This idea will make it a useful keepsake. Thankx !!

LoVe it!! Breaking out one of my Grandmother-in-laws old beautiful tea cups. I think it's better than it sitting in storage:) Thanks for the idea!!
You made this look so easy that I bought a teacup and saucer to make this for my secret sister. Thanks so much for sharing this information.
One of my girl's from sewing class will be getting one of these. Thank you for the idea!
Very Cool!! Thanks for sharing!!
I'm off to make one of these right now with my 4 year old. Perfect for all those old teacups that I can't make myself get rid of.
I love these! Thanks for sharing!
I'm "sew" doing this. 🙂 Now I have a good excuse to go to yard sales this weekend, searching for the perfect teacup!!
Thanks for sharing!
Sarah
Wow maybe even I could do this…lol
This will be a perfect gift for our Mother/Daughter Tea!!!
So cool! Thanks!
Super cute!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
FANTASTIC IDEA XXXX simple and sweet xxx many thanks ….
I love this! Found it out pinterest! I have so many interesting mugs dying for a new purpose!
wow what a super idea ~! Thank you for sharing
This is so simple that even In can do it :0) Thanks so much for sharing!
I'm curious if this works as a functional pin cushion. Is the teacup steady enough to actually be poking pins and pulling them out? It's cute and I'd like to make it, but I'd want to be sure I could actually use it!
soooo cute!! i'll definitely do it!
