DIY Picture Frame Pin Cushion - Before & After

Before - Just a simple, not so cute picture frame


After - really cute picture frame pin cushion 

I created this as a cute DIY gift for my grandmother, to replace the "tomato" pin cushion that she has always used. I used spray paint that I already had on hand to paint the picture frame. Then I wrapped pillow stuffing inside cute fabric. I used a hot glue gun to help secure everything..... That's it!!! Cute & simple.
