Guess what Wednesday

I was just about to put this in the recycling bin the day before yesterday...


...when I was struck with an idea!

First I peeled it apart, turned it inside out and re-glued it.
(Not sure that this was essential, but it made me feel more creative!)


Then  I three-quarter filled it with rice.


Next a strip of wool felt, some tiny scraps of vintage fabric (I knew these bits would have a use one day!) and a bit of Bondaweb.  




Then a bit of couching...


And a bit of embroidery...


Then a bit of blanket stitch, some carefully cut triangles and a bit of stuffing to create these...




 Mini-Cottage Pincushions!
