altoids tin made into a pincushion

[translostlation.livejournal.com]

to make the "cushion" part, i sculpted a piece of styrofoam to fit the lid of the Altoids tin. i wrapped and secured fabric to the styrofoam, and i bought some styrofoam-friendly glue and glued everything to the top of the lid. i hand-sewed ribbon around to hide the gap where you could see the glue and stuff. inside the tin and on the bottom i used red felt.
