A Mason Jar Banner Project

Would you like to make a new banner/bunting? With the popularity of the Mason Jars, I made one which is very simple and quick to finish.

First, find an image of the jar and trace onto a fusible interfacing. I use this one (below) because it is very heavy and stable.

I traced six jars onto the fusible interfacing and then bonded them to six pieces of fabric in the pink and green families.

Now, this sounds crazy, but it was the only way I could get the corrugated look I wanted. Take a piece of cardboard and tear off one of the outer layers to reveal the corrugated cardboard. It's not hard and you can scrape all of the little bits and pieces off.

Then, cut out your jars that are bonded and cut the corrugated cardboard into lids for the jars.

Hot glue the lids to the jars and the jars to a twill tape which is what I used. You could use ribbon, yard, baker's twine, etc.

And there you have your garland.

I tried to use fabrics that kind of looked like something you would see in a canning jar. Don't you think the green looks like pickles - maybe???

Enjoy!

New Banner and New Lamp!!

I got a new banner and a new lamp. I have been eyeing this lamp at Michael's for quite some time.

I went in last Sunday to get a few things knowing the snow and ice were coming. Lo and behold - the lamp was on sale for 1/2 price!! Then, if that wasn't an encouragement enough, I had a 25% off entire order coupon.

So, I ended up with a sweet deal. Isn't he cute? I have alot of the soft aqua in my living room so it will fit in perfectly.

And YES, I will take the plastic off. I had just walked in with it when I took these photos and didn't realize until I started downloading them, that the plastic was still on the shade. Horrors!!

I love the twist on this new banner. It is 6" squares of scrapbook paper folded into and then sewn in a continuous seam. Can't wait to make more of these.

Don't forget to sign up for the Easter Giveaway!

Enjoy!
