Well I'm guessing most of you have seen (and fallen in love with) Mollie Makes?
The latest issue came with a little felt ring pack on the front and I thought, oh sweet I could do something with them. To be honest I wondered how robust they would be with a felt shank, and dug through my jewellery making bits and found some metal sieve ring shanks.
Recently I have been doing a bit of sewing and I sometimes use a wrist pin cushion, it's rather annoying as it tends to get in the way a bit and keeps moving round my wrist so I thought, why not make a pin cushion ring?
So that's what I did. This is my favourite little thing at the minute, it's so handy to have and I've used it loads already.
Actually I'm off out tonight for a family meal and I'm planning to wear mine as a ring in it's own right!
These are quite easy to make, if a little fiddly; but why not give it a go.
You will wonder how you lived without one.
If you can't bear the thought of all that snipping and miniature sewing, I have popped a few in my shop (I know I'm shameless).

I am not feeling it with the Mollie Makes free kits at all but you have made the rings look great! I love the pincushion element too. Great idea! Could you send me a Pinterest invite please? I keep seeing it but can't get on. I did request an invite on someone's blog but heard no more about it. Have a nice night. x
very pretty! Works so well as a mini pini too
ooh how fab, remember to pop a link to this blog post on their facebook page - shameless plug away :-) x
Kandi you have done a great job with those! I have the little kit still in the envelope, must have a go.

I love your version! I made them the way the mag said and they are not too bad! Just have to remember to take it off when you go to wash your hands! :o)

Any ideas? xxxx
