Embellished Glass Jar-
Easily decorated with seam binding, millinery flower, and a vintage jewel.
CRAFT TIP: Use three pieces of seam binding. Tie the first piece around the neck of the bottle and finish with a regular bow (the same way you tie your shoes!). Do the same with the second ribbon. Take the third piece of ribbon and tuck it behind the knots of the two bows (top to bottom). Bring the center of the ribbon directly behind the knots. Tie the ribbon ends into a single knot and bow on top of the other ribbons. This will stabilize all the ribbons and give you a base so that you can glue on your embellishments. Use a good glass glue like Omni Stick and glue on vintage jewels, millinery flowers, etc.
I found these glass jars for 80% off. They will be used to store items on my vanity.
Blessings to you,
Ele

Love the bag you won! Very nice! And your 80% off jars, that was a great deal. Very cute shape.
Have a wonderful day,

Incredible jars! Thanks very much for the tip about the bows. I have a mystery problem with bow tying - mine always end up upsidedown! I've taken to turning things round and just tying them the wrong way round, so that they end up the right way... But on some large things you can't do that. So what on earth am I doing wrong?
That looks like a really enjoyable project for my daughter and me to do! It's amazing how a little bit of this and that can change a simple jar into a lovely decorative piece!
How lovely those are! I'll do some for my craft room also, sweetpea, and see how they look in there.
