How to Make an Old CD Pincushion Basket
Place the CDs onto fabric and trace around to measure a large enough piece to wrap over each CD.
Cut out the fabric.
Sew the fabric over the first CD as shown.
On the second piece of fabric, place several cotton balls to create a cushion, then place the CD over it.
Sew the fabric over the top of the CD.
Place the two CDs on top of each other, flat side to flat side, and glue in place.
Take a length of stiff ribbon or yarn with wire inside, or wrap a piece of floral wire with ribbon, bend, and then glue it in place as a handle.
Once they are glued together, you will now add a ribbon around the edge, coating the seam.
Glue the lacy ribbon around the outside.
Now, add the finishing touches of fake pearls around the outside.
Add pins and use for your next sewing project!
