Thelocactus Leucacanthus = pin cushion?
Comments (2)A little bit of fuzz at the areoles is normal. Hard to be positive without a picture but you're probably OK. "Pincushion cactus" is a common name, hence can be applied to all sorts of different cacti. I have never heard it applied to Thelocactus leucanthus. You can get a good confirmation of an ID by posting a photo, also if it flowers that will give you lots of clues....See MoreEMERY for pin cushions.....
Comments (15)Hardware store is a good place to look -- for a product like this one: Emery Buffing Compound Here is a link to instructions for making an emery pin cushion.

Comments (15)Thank you all bunches! Geraldine the top saw tooth star block measures 4" square finished size, so 4 & 1/2 inches square unfinished size and same for the bottom square and then the side walls measure 1 & 1/2 inches tall finished size, 2 inches unfinished tall - I just cut a long 2" wide/tall strip and then once I got it sewed on I trimmed the length of the strip down to fit. I am really happy with how they turned out, they are not perfect, but made with love. These were fun mini projects and took me 2 to 3 afternoons to make each one. Hope everyone one enjoys their Christmas and holidays. Best to you and thanks bunches, Sandra...See MoreCraft of the Day ~ Mini Frame Pin Cushion
