The only reason all of mine have the yellow flower pins and the yellow pins is because it is all I can find here in town and I can't afford to run to Paducah. :-D

i do want to see yours when you are done.

Here are two that I have made so far. Wow, they are so easy to make. The only difficult thing is holding the filling in place so that it stays inside the fabric while pushing into the lid. I have two more in my set to make. I will certainly be purchasing more jars. These will make great gifts.

Charlene they are adorable!! How did is the lace attached? Or maybe a better question would be is the lace up inside the ring?

I attached the lace with the hot glue gun to the outside of the rim. BTW I am shocked to see that my post uploaded. On my end it just sat there and did nothing. Little did I know it loaded twice. Oh well.

...and to think I bought the same jars and filled them with raspberry jam!!!! I'll have to go back and get another box OR eat a bunch of peanut and jelly sandwiches..hmmm then I could get more done and not cook so much. Have a fun day

A quick question. Anyone have a suggestion on how to control the fiber filling and keep it in a ball while trying to stuff into the rim.

Thank you!
I've had a lot of problems loading pictures here lately. I never had problems before. Thank you for sharing yours with me. I love to see how everyone does theirs.

What I did was gathered the fabric with thread over the lid and pulled tight before stuffing it thru the ring. Once I got it thru the ring I could losen the thread a make sure the batting wasn't in the way then I pulled the thread tight again and tied it and glued it. That's how I was able to get the puffy tops on mine.

Duh, why didn't I think of that. Oh well sometimes my brain does not work. Thanks for the tip. I will use this my next two.
