Altered Wire Pincushion



Yep, another altered pincushion spoon! This time I used my Wig-Jig to make the top design and sewed it right through the whole pincushion. Along the handle I used the square knot technique on 24 gauge bendable wire, from my Hemp Happy macramé book. Aaaannd ~ say it with me! My Glue Gun is my Friend!
