Liz makes simple craft storage mason jars

Here's an easy craft for you guys: craft storage! Sprucing up storage bins or jars are a great way to spend an afternoon or recycle some old jars. I had canned some peach jam and salsa a couple of years ago, so I had some mason jars left over. You can also just buy these from a craft store if you wish. Here's how I made mine:

All I used was a couple mason jars, a scrap of pretty fabric (maybe you remember the fabric from these simple shorts), a pair of scissors, a bit of tacky glue and a little patience. First, take off the lid of the mason jar, and find a piece of fabric big enough to cover the top of the lid.

Cut a circle with an 1" bigger diameter than the lid. 

Glue the fabric to the lid.

Place glue in the inside of the outer lid (I'm not sure what this is called). 

Place the inner lid on top of the glue and wait for it to dry.

Now put a bunch of crafty supplies in your jars and screw the lids on! :)

Super easy and super quick. I whipped up these two in less than 15 minutes. Have a great week! And don't forget to enter the embroidery pattern giveaway on the blog, sponsored by Emily from Scribbles from Emily. It ends on the seventh so go enter right now if you haven't already!
