I nonetheless have (and use) one amongst these cactus pincushions that Laura created numerous years prior to now. She’s nonetheless going sturdy! Nevertheless I decided I wanted one factor a bit of additional seasonal too, and that’s after I assumed, “Wouldn’t a pumpkin spice latte pincushion be hilariously cute?” So in spite of everything I decided I needed to find out a choice to make that. I’m sure there are a million strategies you’ll do this, nonetheless I’ll share what I did and, good news, it entails no stitching the least bit. Plus, it makes use of my favorite crafting instrument. Can you guess?
It’s a scorching glue gun. I don’t know why nonetheless I actually really feel like such a crafter after I get to utilize my scorching glue gun.
Gives:
–burnt orange felt
–white felt, elective
–fluffy white yarn
-coffee cup or mug (paper or ceramic)

-scissors

As you can see, I decided to utilize Starbucks paper cups, nonetheless any espresso cup or mug will do proper right here. You possibly can utterly use a white ceramic mug with a take care of in its place. Merely make sure you choose one factor you don’t plan to utilize for a while.
*And easily in case anyone wonders, no, this publish is not sponsored by Starbucks. We love working with sponsors, and we ALWAYS disclose as soon as we’re to you. That’s solely a enterprise I wanted to do and I decided to make use of those cups because of it’s how I had initially envisioned it, so I merely went for it. I very sincerely appreciated Starbucks PSL, although I don’t suppose I’ve met a pumpkin spice latte I didn’t love from wherever. 🙂
Step One: Scale back the froth to swimsuit contained within the cup, filling it up just about to the brim. You’ll moreover want to reduce a small piece off the best of the cone that will be the within the whipped cream.
I found {{that a}} serrated kitchen knife made chopping this foam less complicated. Merely make sure you wash the knife after chopping and sooner than putting it once more inside the drawer.
Step Two: Scale back the orange felt to swimsuit the best of the froth, so it ought to seem to be your orange latte contained within the cup.
Step Three: Use the brand new glue gun to connect the felt and foam collectively. Then glue the whipped cream foam piece to the center. Then glue the yarn or decrease white felt spherical it to look like swirled whipped cream. Don’t overdo it with the brand new glue on the whipped cream piece because of your needles will bear felt, yarn, and foam, nonetheless they obtained’t bear dried scorching glue as merely. So that you simply don’t have to coat the entire piece in glue.
Add your needles and pins and likewise you’re in enterprise! These are pretty lightweight, so if you happen to want to overwhelm your pincushion additional, merely decrease the froth so there’s some space beneath it (contained within the cup) and add some potting rocks or sand to make the pincushion a bit heavier. As a lot as you. Joyful stitching! xo. Emma
