How do you make a pin cushion for a DIY sewing kit?

The pin cushion is super simple to make. Take the round of a jar lid, and cut out a piece of fabric in a circle shape that’s 2 inches wider in diameter than the round. Grab a handful of quilt batting or fiber fill (something to stuff in the pin cushion) and press it to the top of the round. Wrap the fabric around the stuffing, and hot glue the ends of the fabric to the bottom of the jar lid bottom.
