If you like what you see, let me know and I will send you a copy of the instructions for this pin cushion. Just dmail me your addy if its not in the address exchange.
I added the mint tin to the bottom to store needles and threaders etc as these get lost amongst the straight pins.

The view from the bottom, I added the mint tin to store the extras that get lost with the pins.

Did you fill yours will stuffing, or sand?

Seems all my real pincushions are full of some sort of grit to sharpen the pins and needles.

But, this full of sand would be kinda heavy...

Mine has batting but I think that if you put sand or what ever in the bottom level that would be enough and then when you feel you pins need a little sharpening put them down there.

good idea. Then it would stabilize the base, help it not fall over, too, without being top-heavy
