Make -Do Pinpoke

This is a Make-Do .  You know...those primitive little objects women made to use up scraps of fabric and things. 

 A few years ago I was in charge of a large craft activity for a group of women and I designed this make-do pinpoke strawberry on a candle holder.  I made up kits for the ladies and I had one kit left over.  It was taking up space in my sewing room so I made it up and it became the door prize for my quilt guild meeting. 

The first Strawberry Pinpoke I designed for me.  I used an antique crystal candleholder I purchased at an antique store for just a few dollars.  The later kits had this candleholder in them.  It came from a craft store.  Make do with what you can afford or what you can find.

I love my strawberry make do, and have had it for years.  It lives next to my sewing machine and holds a large quantity of pins (for sewing anything and everything).

I hope this one's new owner loves it as much as I love mine.
