Remember that less than perfect Royal Grafton teacup from a few posts back? I've given it a little makeover . . .
I followed the instructions for the teacup pin cushion in mmmcrafts' link in my post. It was so easy!
Using vintage yellow chenille, I embellished the center of the cushion with silk petals and a great old flower button. Pretty!
Now this transformed teacup is patiently awaiting a new home in my Etsy shop.

What a great project! It's a beautiful pin cushion. Would you mind if I share it on the Steeped Tea blog sometime (giving you credit of course)?

How perfect is that? From less than perfect to piece de resistance. I love the chenille. It reminds me of a ball of ice cream; like a sundae in a teacup. Which isn't is bad idea . . . .
