I love these!
What'd you stuff them with?

Carrie, they are so adorable! I found one lonely jar in my basement. I was thinking of stuffing mine with lavender buds.
What do you think??? I just harvested a bunch from my plants.
Smells soooooo good! :D

I bet they smell so sweet. Nothing more relaxing then the scent of lavendar. I actually I was thinking using potpourri in some of them but didn't. It was one of those last minute thoughts. LOL!!

Those are so cute! How did you make them? I'd love to try it. You should do a tutorial.

Those are a great idea, and good gift item. Super job.

IdahoSandy 07-11-2011 06:55 AM

Is it possible to unscrew the jar lids and store something there too?

Right now I'm working on some using silicon cup cake holders. :-)

I was just looking at these and they are so adorable. I wonder if you could use crushed walnut shells in them so you can sharpen your needles as well. Just a thought.

I saw one of these the other night at our quilt night. Thanks for posting. It is a reminder that I want to make one of these for my self. Are they difficult to make? They look simple. However, just for fun would you please post a tute for making them?

I am sorry but I can't because there are several tut's online. If you got to pages 2 and 5 there are links to 3 different tut's.
