I love, love, love making cute things to house all my sewing supplies. Housing my button addiction is no exception. So… I was looking online for a cute way to store them and I came across this tutorial called the Mason Jar Pin Cushion – Tutorial. I used this tutorial as inspiration and made my mason jar pin cushions a bit different. Check out my mason jar makeover! I love how they turned out!
I got 3 different sizes of mason Jars from Walmart. I looked for used ones at Value Village but had no luck finding them there.
I made some changes to the tutorial. I didn’t have any cardboard to I just used the lid to glue the fabric too. Then I covered the fabric edges with cute colored card stock paper.
I also painted the rims of some of the mason jar pin cushions to make them even cuter! Some are PINK and others are AQUA, and others I just left SILVER.
Then I organized my buttons according to color and put them in the mason jar pin cushions.
The whitish ones took up a large mason jar.
Then I put some pins in! I have lots of cute colors of pins too!
These mason jar pin cushions are super easy to make! I made about 15 of them and they now sit on the shelf in my laundry room. I love how they look with all my buttons organized by colour. I look forward to the day that I have my own sewing room so that I can see these cute mason jar pin cushions more often.
Let me know if you have any super cute ideas to use buttons!
I was thinking of creating some button art like this Heirloom Button Art one day for my future sewing room.
Until then, have fun creating!
