Materials Needed:

  • Fabric (about a 6 inch circle should do it)
  • 6 1/2 inches of lace or the circumference of the pizza stool
  • 1/2 of a styrofoam ball (2 1/2 inch size)or fibre fill stuffing
  • Needle and thread
  • Glue
  • 3 pronged pizza stool (the thing that keeps the lid from mashing onto your delivered pizza)

Instructions:

  1. Wash the pizza stool with lots of soapy water to clean it thoroughly. Dry it.

  2. Cut the styro ball in half (1 ball makes 2 Pizza Pin Cushions).

  3. Cut out the circle of fabric.

  4. Sew a running basting stitch about 1/4 - 1/2 inch from the outside edge. Gather slightly.

  5. Stuff with the 1/2 styro ball or fibre fill. Pull the gathering stitch tight now and knot it off.

  6. Glue the fabric circle to the top of the pizza stool.

  7. Run a bead of glue around the base of the gathered edge of the fabric circle

  8. Glue the lace onto the edge of the pizza stool.
