Ground Walnut Shells for Pin Cushions and Crafting

Ground walnut shells are a go-to filler for hobbyists who want their pin cushions full and their pins holding firm. This 1lb. bag from Martin Tree Farms is built for exactly that kind of project, and customers say it delivers reliable results from one pin cushion to the next.

Many buyers report that pins set well once the cushion is filled, which is the outcome most crafters are after. One reviewer who had been filling Homemade Pincushions with rice said this option works better. Another noted that the fine grind of the shells suits pin cushion filling nicely.

What Customers Make With It

  • Pin cushions, including projects that call for ground shells specifically
  • Pillows and other stuffed sewing-room projects
  • Keychain charms, eye masks and neck warmers
  • Handmade gifts for fellow crafters and family

Reviewers describe it as a versatile filler that fits a range of small fabric projects.

Easy to Work With

Customers say the shells are clean to handle and that the filling stays tidy at the workbench. One sewing hobbyist noted that a sewing-machine string catcher and pin holder kept the floor much cleaner. Reviewers also appreciate that spills are easier to clean up than sand or static-prone plastic beads.

Either way, it is a simple, dependable choice for the craft table!

Who It Suits

This is a natural pick for anyone who regularly makes pin cushions or other stuffed crafts, and for crafters who want a dependable filler they can reorder. Customers who have already made a few projects with it say they plan to keep one on hand.

Good item for keychain charm

I used walnut shells to make keychain charm for project bag. The charm works as pin cushion or just squishing it like a stress ball.

Exactly what I needed

Used this to fill a pin cushion. Fit the bill exactly. My only tip would be to make sure none of the little bits fall on the floor. They really hurt when you step on them with bare feet :)
