Epiphany Crafts with a Cherry on Top!

Jan

2013

Hi there!

Cherry here to share my Pinterest inspired project with you today!

I was inspired by this cute pic…I was drawn to the fabric and the sweet cherry on top.

I decided to create a mini pincushion of sorts using fabric and chipboard for my backing.

Wouldn’t this make a cute Valentine gift for someone special or display in your craft room.

Cherry Pincushion by Cherry Nelson

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:

Epiphany Round 14 tool, 14 bubblecaps

Epiphany Pennant tool, pendant bubblecaps

Other Supplies:

chipboard- Maya road

fabric- joanns

quilt batting- JoAnns

felt- Paper Trey ink

gingham ribbons- JoAnns

buttons- Paper trey ink

stick pins- Joanns

heart charm – Michaels

1) Gather supplies

2) Adhere adhesive backing to fabric (it will help it stay smooth with no wrinkles).

3) Cut decorative edging with pinking shears

4) use diecut to cut cherry stems and leaves (if you do not have diecut you could easily freehand).

5) Cut two labels from diecut (for front and back)

6) Start whip stitching almost all the way around, leaving space to stuff with fiberfill. Finish stitching .

7) Adhere your “cherries”( use Epiphany tool and size 14 bubblecaps) , stems, and leaves.

8) Paint your chipboard red and adhere your fabric and stitch all the way around.

9) Adhere your “pincushion” to chipboard.

10) Pull ribbon through and tie bows.

11) Embellish your stick pins using charms, pearls, and Epiphany epoxies. I used the pendant to create a mini banner.
