Great tutorial!  And the cactus to hold needles is such a fun idea! It IS a lot less prickly and likely to hurt you than a real cactus but still totally perfect!

What a cool way to hold your needles!

Hello @garnet1! Welcome to #NeedleWorkMonday!  Every Monday we get together to share our work, tips, patterns, ideas and inspirations as we support one another!  On Monday’s we use the #needleworkmonday tag and on all other days we use the #needlework tag without the word Monday attached.  

Your cactus pin cushion is sooo cute and such a good idea!  I like that it’s bigger than the average cushion and can store way more pins!  I would have never guessed you used foam balls and just tucked the material in between the the cuts! I really thought sewing was involved. So clever!  I love the look of it and how it sits on top of the rocks in the pot. I also love the flower you stuck on that matches the flower on the pot.  All of these details make it even cuter!  

I hope you get around to mingling and meeting the other needkeworkers! We encourage supporting one another because it helps us to keep doing what we do...sharing our work and inspiring the Steemit blockchain!

Thanks for sharing this week! It’s great to have you! 😃

I have one from my grandma that's falling apart. It's a tomato stuffed with some kind of stuff that's almost like sand, but slightly larger granuals. It may be some kind of saw dust. It's got a tag that's long since worn off, so I guess she bought it some time before I was even born. I've patched it up a bit where the fabric has torn with stitches. Might need to eventually put actual little patches on it if I don't wanna throw it out.

This is a brailliant handmade and very nice Cactus.

This post is sponsored and featured by **@Appreciator** in collaboration with **@c-squared**. Just keep up the good work.

Thanks for showing us the cactus - an interesting idea and a great result! I especially love the flower you put on it and how well it goes with the flower on the pot :)

Congratulations @garnet1!
