Plastic beads are another alternative to use in your pin cushion. Though traditionally not the best filling for a pin cushion it can be used. If you are looking to still have a fairly soft pin cushion, you can use the plastic beads along with a softer material for your pin cushion. That is everything on my guide for the best filling for a pin cushion.
I hope this has been helpful and would love to know if you have any other tried and tested methods and materials. Let me know your suggestions in the comments below.

Ok I have a hair saver made of celluloid in those days when women saved their hair to make buns in their own hair color… well unhappily my hair from stress has been falling out guess i could use this for a pincushion …on a lighter note i have walnut hulls for a project n it makes nice pincushions also… use both i guess if id like the 2nd idea better… Reply.
Caral on May 25, at pm. It worked very well. I am converting an old velvet Christmasy pillow case that, I believe my grandmother had made, into a pincushion. It was in the form of a 9-patch quilt and needed mended anyway. Now, to choose the filling! Thanks for the ideas!
I love the crushed walnut shells. Its heavy and keeps a pin cushion thread catcher combo in place. I also use it in. I use dried rosemary and pumice powder found at cosmetic suppliers. Smells so nice and sharpens needles. Please note: some links share on this site are affiliate links. We promise, no funny stuff! Just fun things that can make your sewing life easy- peasy!

To avoid this, you must stuff it in a sheer sac or lining first, then stitch up the seams tight.
In some cases, store-bought sand has been associated with specific respiratory issues as well as chemicals, which is something most people want to stay away from. If you opt to go with sand, it is key that you know and trust your sources. Buckwheat husks are a great alternative to crushed walnut shells and they bear a close resemblance. The only difference is that buckwheat hulls are hypoallergenic since the plant is not a member of the nut family. They make great pincushion stuffing with excellent weight, compactness, and stability.
Unfortunately, buckwheat hulls are not easily accessible to everyone and might be hard to come by. Luckily, it is available online if not within your locality. Who would have thought crushed glass could make the list? Well, it has, and it is made blunt by polishing. It has good weight, packs up neatly, and sharpens your needles. It is not the easiest thing to find though. You must don gloves and a mask if you choose to use ground glass.
Yes, you can use rice to fill pincushions. Rice is particularly helpful for adding weight when used in conjunction with polyfill, natural fiber batting, or fabric scraps. However, you may not want to use rice because of these two issues that can arise with rice as stuffing.
Rice, being dry cereals and food, is likely to attract unwanted guests; vermin or bugs. They can sniff it out from a mile away. If pests have never been a problem for you, you must know that the rice may also start to rot inside if the pincushion ever comes into contact with water.
The same goes for yellow peas, lentils, and other dry foodstuffs that people might suggest. And there you have it. The list may not be exhaustive as you can find folks using all sorts of things like accumulated hair from brushes, ground coffee beans, straw, bird gravel, lavender, etc.
