I have a hot glue gun and a cool one. Hated burning my fingers, but sometimes the hot holds better.
I like brillo pads too :-)

Do you cover your brillo pad with batting before you put the fabric on? Stupid question I know, but :oops:

I was doing some "cleaning" this weekend, and came across a gravy boat I had forgotten I had...so excited...will be using it to make a pincushion out of! So fun when unexpected things show up!

What a great idea!!! Thank you for sharing. I have a gravy boat that belonged to my mother. I can't throw it away but it has a small crack so I don't use it for gravy. Now I can repurpose it.
