Tea for one…and Smoothfoam too! Altering vintage items is one of my favorite things to do. Smoothfoam makes a great pin cushion, especially for heavier decorative pins – no drooping! Learn how to make this DIY pincushion craft below.
Supplies
3″ Smoothfoam ball
Vintage teacup and saucer
Americana craft paint – Dragon Fruit
Paint brush
Stickles glitter glue – Diamond
Miniature flowers
6-8″ length of a feather boa
Heavy-duty glass glue
Craft glue

4. Adhere the ball inside the cup with craft glue.
5. Glue feather boa around the perimeter at the lip of the cup, and embellish with pearls and flowers as desired.
