Tutorial: Make a Giant Pincushion Chair.



A few months ago, Mary taught us all to make simple little pincushions using The Purl Bee's tutorial.

This week I decided to make one 100 times its usual size for a stage in the Labs.

To make it, you'll need:
- a 6' diameter circle of red felt
- one yard of green felt
- one package of green 1" hem tape
- glue gun
- green embroidery thread and needle
- a HUGE amount of packing peanuts, plastic grocery bags, shredded paper and recycled polyfil

First, familiarize yourself with the Purl Bee's pincushion tutorial. You're going to be amplifying this recipe by a large amount.

Treat your large red circle as if you are making a small pincushion. Sew a loose straight stitch around the edges and then pull together to make a little drawstring sack. Stuff the packing peanuts loosely into the sack to give it some body, then sew around the top a few more times to make it really durable.



Stuff the pincushion/chair with everything you got. We filled it for an hour with every bit of clean trash we had in the Labs.



Keep packing it down and getting all the nooks and crannies (plastic bags and shredded paper are great for this) until it has a nice round shape.



Do not quit stuffing until the chair is dense and hard and holds its shape. You don't want a beanbag chair unless you're filling it with something other than packing peanuts and trash.



Use your glue gun to glue the hem tape along the sides of the chair (just like those ubiquitous strawberry ones) then cut out a "leaf" shape for the top of the chair.



Finally, tack the leaf shape down with glue and then whip stitch around the whole thing with embroidery thread.

The game gives me a lot of happy,and when i miss the 2moons dil i will go to play it,so I often go to earn the 2moons gold to be strong.Sometimes my friends will give some 2moon dil to me and they also take me to play the game. I began to no longer satisfy with the present equipment, so I have to find a friend, a friend gave me a thing.I would not go to buy 2moons dil,i like the game very much.If you want to play it,join us and then cheap 2moons gold.Please do not hesitate to play the game.

While most people do not like them because of the weaker stat types, in this game you do not have to work about that with rohan crone. The other thing that backs this up is their ability to cast many rohan online crone and stun spells. When put rohan gold to the test they can also use powerful magical attacks to fend for themselves. Templar Quite the aggressor, they are more of the fighting type healers who only use their rohan online gold to magic on themselves. By using rohan money to buy crossbows they attack slower but with their powerful attacking skills it dose not matter much.
