Tutorial: Scented flower pot pincushion

Cheryl from Sew Can Do shows how you can make this flower pot pincushion. The pincushion base is a small terra cotta pot, filled with pretty felt flowers. The centers of the flowers are ball shaped pins, of course. The pincushion is filled with crushed walnut shells, which have a good weight and will help keep your pins sharp. And if you use scented crushed walnut shells, your pincushion will smell just as pretty as it looks.
