Like most of you, I comb the internet for fun and interesting ways to take my scrapbooking to another level. As I’ve mentioned before, one of my favorite blogs to read is Mel from Australia. She always has the most beautiful little things on display. So when I went looking for a fun and unique project to make as a gift, I of course, turned to her website. This is my version of the pin cushion she received from a friend of hers.

The tea cup is made simply by gluing the cup to the saucer and embellishing with bits and sparkles. The top is actually a face towel that I trimmed down and stuffed with a cardboard base for stability. The beer mug is made with crimped golden paper and the foam is off-white shelf liner that was stuffed the same way. Inside I put all kinds of little items you might need at work, such as shout wipes, safety pins, matches, band-aids, airborne, etc. I thought they would make great gifts to sit on your desk at work. I know I’m always looking for a safety pin! I hope you make something of your own and share the photos with me!! (per usual click on the photo to see the entire Scrapblog).
