Cheeseburger pincushion and needle book

[mynameis_jinx]

It's a felt burger.

BUT WAIT!  It's also a pincushion!



As if that weren't enough, it's also a needle book!  Wow.



I really liked this idea for a pincushion/needle book combination, but I'm not really into hats so I decided to do a burger instead.  (I'm actually not really into burgers either, being vegetarian, but when I tried to think of an object with a pincushion-like top and needle book-like interior layers, a cheeseburger came immediately to mind.)

My burger has lettuce, cheese, and a tomato slice.  (And a hamburger patty, of course.)  There's also a line of ketchup:



...which doubles as  a handy place to store things!



If I had an adorable pair of tiny scissors, I'd put them in there, but unfortunately I don't.  I did try to put my smallest pair of scissors in my burger...



...but it didn't really work out. 

I'm usually not a fan of fake food (I much prefer real food), but this is useful so I think I'll keep it around.

I love this!  I bet my boyfriend would even think this is pretty cool (until I inform him it's a veggie burger since I'm a vegan, too!).  I love the fact that it's the pincushion and needlebook together, too.  The more different places I have to keep things, the higher the probability that I'll lose things.  Keeping it altogether like this is great!

How did you get the different coloring on the tomato and the bun?

Well I am a fan of fake food, and this is super swell!

I also dislike fake food, but this is awesome!

I figure, if you're gonna make fake food, might as well make it useful!

Aww, thanks everyone! 

How did you get the different coloring on the tomato and the bun?

I used my super-rad Prismacolor colored pencils.  If you don't have Prismacolors, you should get some, because they're super-rad.  Failing that, other brands might work.  I like Prismacolors because they have soft lead, which makes it easier for the colors to transfer onto things like felt.  A pencil with harder lead, like Crayola, might not work so well.

This cheeseburger is brilliant!
