Polymer Clay Pincushions
Recycle, get something functional, cute and have fun making it! The polymer clay pincushion craft promises just that! CraftyGoat has published their version of the tin can pincushion from Design Sponge, which uses decorative paper instead of clay. Personally I'm a fan of the clay version.

Tiny Fabric Boards
Puget Sound Sewing and Crafts posted this easy and fiscally responsible craft, Fabric Boards for Scrapbooking and Card Making. Fat quarters can be found at any fabric store in a variety of colors and patterns, take those, some index cards, hot glue gun and ribbon and you can create colorful boards to mount photos on or use as the front of a card. And of course, embellishments are a must! Go beyond the ribbon, jewel it up, trinkets and such will lend a truly personal touch.
