To use the cushion as a holder for sewing needles, attach a piece of grosgrain ribbon and tie on a small pair of scissors. To use the cushion for a doll's house, dent it slightly in the center and place it into the dolls house scene.

These little cushions are a great way to recycle pretty bits of stitching which come from otherwise worn cushions or damaged needlework. They are also a good way to use cross stitch or petit point miniatures.
