Instructions for How to Make Fabric Jam Jar CoversMake Your Own Fabric Jam Jar Covers!

With very little time and effort, and any left-over fabric you may have on hand, a little string and glue, you can make attractive, colourful bonnets for that jar you are giving as a gift, or that you are displaying in your own cupboard of jams and preserves!







What You Need:

  • fabric, cotton or other
  • 6" diameter round template (for example, a container lid)
  • string, binder twine or wool
  • pinking shears or scissors
  • glue gun and glue stick
     

How to Make Jar Covers with Material / Tracing Template

Step #1

Select the fabric of your choice, turn the fabric wrong side up and smooth the fabric surface.

Using a round template of 6" in diameter, (I used a plastic container lid), trace around the entire circle (see photo above) using a pen, marker, pencil or, for dark material use chalk.

Instructions for DIY Jar Toppers - Cutting out the Circle

Step #2

Using pinking shears, cut around the entire circle.

If you do not have pinking shears, you can use a regular type of scissors. The benefit of using pinking shears is that because of the irregular cut they provide (a "zigzag") the fabric is much less likely to fray or unravel during use.







Pinking shears are fairly expensive, but they are so handy to have for use when making crafts involving fabric.

They are ideal for finishing fabric edges and seams as well as for making decorative edges on various craft and sewing materials.

Below are examples of fine pinking shears available for online purchase from *Amazon.com.

The pair of pinking shears I have is the "Fiskars", the third product below. I highly recommend them!



Attaching Fabric to Jar Top

Step #3

Using a heated glue gun, dab a small bead of glue on about 6 to 8 spots along the edge of the ring lid (see photos above).

Immediately, while glue is still active, center the fabric cut-out over the jar lid and gently fold over the sides onto the glue spots.

Step #5

Using the heated glue gun, glue the string to the side of the ring at the center back spot (see photos above).







Bring the string around to the front of the jar, and tie into a bow.

Trim ends of string if necessary.

Using the heated glue gun, dab a bit of glue underneath the bow to ensure it stays tied.

DONE!

These easy to make fabric jar covers are a great way to make that gift jar of jam, preserves or cookie ingredients look that much more special!
