I posted this on the oven dress thread. My friend got a jar gripper for Christmas. The lady took a square of the rubberized shelf liner with the holes. She then crocheted around it. Voila a jar lid gripper to help loosed those stuck lidsMy mother was in an extended care facility and the cook there made her the cutest "bibs". They look just like little aprons. She isn't embarrased to wear them they are so cute.
