It's a pin holder and catcher
Hi everyone, I lost track of where my magnetic "pin holder" was and stumbled upon a really neat and affordable way of replacing it.  

​I was actually looking at magnets at the $ store and found a package of magnets- see picture below:
​
Picture
12 magnets for a $ at the local $ store
... and I thought how could I attach these to a bowl or container of some type to make a pin holder?

​Then I saw these:
Picture
Simple little metal baking cups- 4 in a pack for $1.00

 All you do is... place (no gluing necessary) 3 of the magnets to the bottom of the pretty little cupcake dish and you have a very affordable pin keeper. If you hold the bottom where the magnets are to the pins you leave lying about, the magnets will scoop up your mess.  
​This is also tiny so if you have only a small surface area to sew on, then this little magnetic pin cup would work for you!

One package of magnets and one of  baking cups = 4 pin holders .

Sew... give one to a sewing friend!


​There are some other alternative solutions/purchase options if you want a pretty coloured pin holder and if you are not a "DIY'er".  

Some of the below come with additional features as well and they are:

Picture
Available from Amazon for $12.71 (has a storage box below for pins)
Picture
The "Pin Place" also from Amazon for $4.82- Holds both pins and scissors
Picture
The Pin Caddy from Connecting Threads- a bigger surface for more pins - $13.00 at 20% off sale
Happy Tuesday everyone! ✂︎
