How to Transform Glass Garlic Jars Into Multi-Functional Pin Cushions With Storage

Transform your glass garlic jars into multi-functional pin cushions with storage by following this creative and practical DIY tutorial. You will learn how to repurpose these jars into stylish and useful organization tools for sewing or crafting supplies.

Hello everyone! A while ago, I purchased some pin cushions from my local Dollar Tree, and stored them away, completely forgetting about them. Today, while cleaning, I came across them and decided to use them with my glass garlic jars. I thought the glass garlic jars would be wonderful for creating multi-functional pin cushion storage jars.

Supplies

Materials

Three pin cushions

Glass jars (I'm reusing my garlic jars)

Mod Podge

Paintbrush

Acrylic paint

Sewing and craft accessories to add to each glass jar

Step 1: Adding Mod Podge and Paint to Jars

To give my jars a stained glass appearance, I combined my Mod Podge and paint. I used a paintbrush to add a thin layer of the mixture and then used a drying tool to dry the paint. I repeated this process for each jar, applying two coats of my Mod Podge and paint mixture to each jar.

Step 2: Adding Accessories to Jars

Once your jars have dried completely, take your sewing items such as buttons, thread, thimbles, and other sewing accessories, and add them to each of your jars.

Then, take your pin cushions and add them to each of your jars. I added a few sewing pins to the tops of each of my pin cushions.

Step 3:

These jars can be used to store any of your craft items as well. They are great for storing craft embellishments.

I love that I was able to reuse my glass garlic jars in this fun project. So, before you think about throwing away those glass jars, remember there are endless possibilities when reusing them.
