Jars are one of my favourite things to keep on hand for crafting. You can decorate them in a million-and-one ways, you can create gifts and projects with them, and then at the end you can use them to store your goodies.

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Needle
  • Glass Jar
  • Fabric Scissors
  • Fabric
  • Embroidery Thread
  • Mod Podge

Steps (4 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Decide what type of design you want to have on your jar label. I used some vintage-style floral pictures that I had sketched as inspiration.

  2. 2

    Cut a square of loose-weave fabric (I used unprimed canvas) to fit your jar.

  3. 3

    Embroider your design on the fabric. You don't have to stick to flowers... try words or a geometric design!

  4. 4

    To adhere the label to the jar use Mod Podge on the back of the embroidered fabric and then all over the label once it was attached – this prevents the edges of the canvas from fraying. Voila!
