Vintage Tea Cup Pin Cushions

Okaaayyy, I got them done! I wrote the other day about how I had been wanting to put together some tea cup pin cushions. They were fun to dream about and even more fun to make.

Rather than use the regular cups and saucers ( which I did do, I will show in another post ) I used these 70's depression glass luncheon sets.

I thought it would be nice to have a larger area on which to hold pins, buttons, ribbons, etc.

Do ya like the bling on the side of the cup? It is a clip on earring. It almost ended up glued to my finger rather than to the cup!

I did have some *ahem* help from the cat.

This cat is so busy all the time! So, what do you think? Do you like the big 7 inch plates? Or are they too much?
