Save the Owls

I made this pincushion the other day:


I found the ceramic owl and trunk vase at Value Village and though I try to avoid acquiring knick-knacks at thrift stores, this guy spoke to me. It was something to the effect of , "Whoo whooo... hey yooou... take me home and make me into something newww!" So I did.


It originally held a tiny bouquet of ugly fake flowers which I immediately tossed. I filled the empty trunk with beans and hot glue to give it weight and attached a plush patchwork sphere on the top.

I also made this guy...
 

Who who whooo needs a place to put their pins? They'll be flying into my Etsy shop soon.

Adorable! Value Village is one of my favorite places for finding those unique treasures to work with. I picked up a vintage birdie egg cup the other day to make a pincushion too!
