What do you use to stuff pin cushions
I am making a lot of pin cushions for a project and need cheap stuffing material. I have heard that crushed walnuts are good. Is there a cheaper source besides a quilt shop?

When I found the crushed walnuts at a pet store it was in the amphibian department. When I called the store to ask about crushed walnuts whoever I spoke to did not have a clue about it but I decided to go look for myself and found it there for lizards, etc. It only came in a 10lb bag so if you are making multiples that should work for you.

I got in a mood last year and made a ton of pincushions and all of them with walnut shells. I really like the weight of them. But as someone else said you need to be careful and put a warning label with them as nut allergies can be deadly. Literally. I was lucky enough to find a 10 quart bag on sale on amazon for $8!!
