Needlewomen usually take care of the scissors, do not let anyone cut the paper, store it in a special box. However, according to the status, a good instrument is supposed to be an ornament - a beacon, so that they do not get lost, so that they feel important.
The beacon is most often sewn in the form of a square, rectangular or round pillow. There are beacons - cubes, pyramids and hearts, big and small, but always beautiful and elegant, with embroidered patterns.

We fix the edges with sewing pins and begin to manually sew through the top, passing the needle through the stitches of the outer embroidered outline and connecting them together. Do not forget to insert the ends of the braid into the seam, securely fasten them. At the end of the seam on the fourth side, leave a hole for filling the pillow. Fill with sintepuh, sew up the hole. Attach the beacon to the scissors. With dense stuffing, the decoration can also serve as a needle bed.
