    I could not believe how spendy those flat jars are..wow...
    I roll up left over batting and gather the fabric using upholstery thread then tie the thread in a knot. I like the upholstery thread because regular thread will break when pulled tight.
    Remember to place the lid on the batting before gathering the fabric. The hard part is stuffing the top thru the ring. Make sure that the batting doesn't get under the lid or it will be hard to screw the ring onto the jar. I also use all purpose tacky glue to glue the fabric to the bottom of the lid for added strength.
    I am too lazy for that I just got out the hot glue gun and glued the fabric to the bottom of the lid and it seems to be working fine!

    I would have used the hot glue gun but I wanted a puffy top and for it to be tightly fitted. Everyone has their own way of doing things and that's what makes and keeps things interesting. Atleast for me it does! :-)

    You are absolutely right (in my book). The little thing that you tweak may be the very thing that I needed to know to make something work. Bring on the tweaking and the quirking. LOL!

    LOL!

    Carrie these make me think of my dad's workbench. He would keep all the nails and stuff in old jars, like baby food or jelly jars. One jar, tucked in the back, was always full of the Hershey's semisweet chocolate chips! These jars would be the perfect size for a little snack jar by the machine, for extra energy.

    Is it just batting and fabric attached to the top?

    Too cute! Great fabric choices.

    What are you stuffing them with?

    if you don't have upholstery thread, beading thread or even dental floss will work!
