Handmade by Hilani: Mason Jars

Hi Everyone,

Oh, have I got a treat for you...

I'm a lover of Peaches, especially when a top cottage cheese, rice or chicken. The flavor is so tantalizing. I even enjoy it in salsa vs. its competitor, mango. We frequent Costco, which is where we buy sliced peaches, jarred. They come in a 4 pack and don't last long in the house...but the mason jars, those do!

Here's a BEFORE and AFTER of how I like to re-purpose my mason jars.

The After picture is {My} Mommy Tip Jar. Spare change goes in it and when my husband ate lunch out more frequently, this baby filled up fast; from emptying pockets, at Laundry time.

Re-purposed with a Fabric Cap cover, raffia and chalk paint,

it has taken on a whole new image.

(You can find my tutorial for Fabric Cap Covers here )

That Tutorial features this same jar being used to hold my healthy collection of buttons, now color-categorized.

And finally, I actually use these Jars, minus their Lids, during the warm summer months as Drinking glasses. Below you'll find a picture I posted on Instagram - I'm enjoying here a Seagram's Sweet Tea Vodka and Lemonade, on my back patio.

I heart anything that starts one way and can end up another. Above is a picture of my glass jars that once held baby food and sweet, delicious peaches. The larger jars come in a pack of 4 with peaches at Costco and the smaller ones are your standard baby food jars.

What you'll need:

Sewing Machine

#11 needle

Scrap fabric

Jar Cap

Tacky Glue

Any color thread

Pencil for Tracing

Rubber Bands

I've recently finished the wall decor in my sewing studio and one big project was shorting out all my buttons color wise. Below is a tutorial for Fabric Covered Caps.

Step 1:

Trace bottle cap on wrong side of fabric.

Step 2:

Eye ball and cut 1 inch, or more, around your bottle

cap tracing.

Step 3:

At your sewing machine, choose a Zig Zag stitch with a 3 length and 4 width, tension @ 6 and needle 11. This is for a thin cotton fabric; change accordingly.
