Use a bar of soap. Points won't rust, and they slide in easily.

Most the older ones and some new ones are filled with sand. This helps sharpen the pins when they are stuck into the cushion. Cut a section of material, fill it with sand and sew it up.

Bend over, I'll show you. LOL. Anyway, usually a thick cotton stuffing is used in pincushions. Dense so the needles and pins won't go all the way thru it easily. Tightly packed, too.

Actually, I'm looking at mine right now & its stuffed with sand! I guess you just sew a pouch, leave a tiny opening, pour the sand in & hand sew the opening closed. It's almost an antique, & I've never had to repair it.

Take a small piece of material...fell with cotton and use a string to tie with.
