Description

I ran across a series of little batik style frogs on squares of fabric at my local thrift store, and as I am a fan of frogs, I brought them home and decided to make them into pincushions!

I sold my first one (the green one) right away! (Thank you, dear friend, for purchasing it!) So now I have another one for sale in my Chelly Wood online store for the very reasonable price of $4.99 plus $7 shipping, for a total of $11.99.

I stuffed my pincushion very tightly with fiber fill, so pins will go in and out easily. It’s about two inches (four centimeters) tall all the way around, and this one is unique because I embroidered the outline of the frog with black embroidery floss for added texture.

I’m including 20+ little straight pins with the frog pincushion. These straight pins are slightly smaller than average, with about 2 centimeters of metal extending from the ball head. That’s just under one inch long.

So the straight pins are perfect for pinning little tiny doll clothes pattern pieces!

I’m working on making more of these frog pincushions, but I may post them on eBay or in my Etsy store to see if they sell better there. I haven’t done a lot of selling over the years, so now that I’m retired, I’m experimenting to see which platform works best for selling the things I have made, like these adorable little frog pincushions!
