Mason Jar Pincushion

"This cute little pincushion is the perfect scrap buster, since you only need small amounts of each material. It's also a really quick and easy project, only taking 15 minutes from start to finish with minimal sewing skills required. This method will work for any size mason jar, as long as you use a standard 2-part canning lid. Add this pincushion plus some sewing notions to a jar, and you’ve got an on the go sewing kit. This would also be a great for a child’s first sewing kit, you can even let your child help you with this project, it’s that easy."
