Upcycle Glass Jars with Scrap Fabric

[jenglow]

Use thin material to allow the threading on the inside of the cap to still function onto the jar properly.

Great idea. I have tons of jars all different shapes and sizes in both of refrigerator bins. When people go looking for lettuce, tomatoes, etc and they pull out my bins, they are like, "what in the world!!!!" I use to save tons of tin cans too but, not in the fridge as they will rust. At my grocery store - I cannot recall the name of the fruit but, the jars are clear and hexagon shaped. Last year I took a Christmas napkin with mini pictures of pointsettias on it in red and white flowers and I mod podge it to the side of the hexagon shaped one and let it dry good. Then I took a very thin layer mod podge and with a thin tipped paint brush went around some of the petals. Then I took my Martha Stewart very fine gold glitter and sprinkled it on the outlined petals and tapped the side of the jar to let the access glitter to fall off. I put a tea light inside on Christmas Eve night and turned off the lights and had a cup of hot spiced tea and sow that little fruit jar added coziness to my apartment. I am glad this video from 2014 hasn't been taken down yet. I stumbled on it by accident. Thank you for a great idea!

Thanks so much! Great idea. I've got a "stash" of jars just waiting for me to
repurpose them! Now I'm motivated. Great tutorial.

Good idea, but too many long shots with the filming. More close ups would have been great.

Good idea. Ooh, it would also be super cute to put beads in one as a beautiful storage of craft supplies as long as I put it somewhere they won't fade too much. We can't have jewellery of faded beads.

I love the marble idea!! ~ After you modge podge the fabric to the lid take a pencil or tailor's chalk and mark where the edge of the lid ends on the fabric so the notches don't go back this mark when you are cutting. Then you won't need to do the piece of ribbon around the side to hide those cuts

You can also use the fabric on the glass container. Glue it. Then apply a couple of coats of polycrylic (with a few hours between each coat.) The spray on will work as a final gloss. Great ideas about handles.

If goo from the glue won't come off easily try rubbing with some eucalyptus oil and finish off with alcohol to get rid of the oily residue. Works great learned this trick from a friend who owned a ceramic gift shop some 40 years ago.
