I found myself needed a few more pin cushions for sewing classes and decided to try making some with a few mason jars I had in the cupboard already. The fun thing about making pin cushions out of jars is that they can hold sewing accessories safely in the jar portion and become a travel sewing kit!

Today I’ll show you how to make an easy pin cushion out of any size jar, and you don’t even need a sewing machine! Yep, this is a hot glue project, with a tiny bit of hand sewing. Keep reading for the step by step mason jar pin cushion instructions with all of photos you need to make this simple project.
