They are all the rage and so simple to make. Let me show you one that I made in about 15 minutes. I started mine with a clean Jelly Jar. Just so you know I'm making the kids eat lots of Peanut Butter and Jelly so we can collect more jars. Okay, just kidding.
When you start with your fabric, the amount needed will depend on the size of your jar lid. My lid was pretty small. I used pinking shears to get a nice edge all around the fabric. It looks so nice.
I took a wad (great technical term) of pillow stuffing and placed my Spice Cake Fabric over it and over the lid of my jar. To help me out I placed a rubber band around the fabric and lid to keep it in place. I then took a strip of coordinating fabric from the Spice Cake line and cut this strip using my Pinking shears again. I wrapped this around my rubber band so you couldn't see it and tied the fabric in a bow. I placed my pretty heart pins into the pin cushion at an angle because my lid is very shallow. It works perfectly.
I could add DSP around the bottom of the jar but I really like this simple look just how it is. Wouldn't this be a fun gift to give to friends, Teachers or loved ones? They would make a great craft show project too. You could add a simple tag made from the coordinating products and SHAZAM you have a FANTASTIC gift. LOVE It!

Beautiful!! Can the lid still be removed? You could put a few pretty ribbons or thread in it, and it would be a fun gift for a crafty friend!
Wowzer, I love it. What a great idea. I need to order more of this fabric now lol
So cute – and the jar is large enough to fill with buttons or a few spools of thread or sope ribbon – or anything crafty – or yummy!!
Love the fabric and the whole idea of using old jelly jars. Recycling and creating a piece of art at the same time.
