"MET MONDAY" Canning Jar Transformation
Susan, at Between Naps on the Porch, hosts a weekly blog party "Metamorphosis Monday" and I wanted to show how to take a simple canning jar and make a lovely little gift for someone special. I just love these jars that I found at WalMart, in the canning section.

This is such a cute and creative idea! I've never seen these little canning jars. I'll have to be on the lookout for some. :)
Darling jars, darling idea! And I love the fabric you used.
That is just darling! I have a little craft thing I am working on and those jars would be perfect! Thanks for sharing, love your blog too! Cindy

I love this idea! I haven't seen those jars. I need a trip to wallyworld.
Sorry, the anon. is Pat at Back Porch Musings.
Suzanne, My dogs and cats would look great in your collars, but with 6 dogs and 5 cats, I am afraid I couldn't afford them. Maybe one or two.
Thanks for the pin cushion idea.
This is so cute! And it reminds me of elementary school--back in the olden golden days--when we made pincushions for our moms out of canning jar rings and lids. But ours weren't as cute as your darling jar!
Thank you so much for coming by my blog and introducing yourself. I'm glad to find you! I've never been to Abilene, but have many friends who went to college there. :)
Sew Cute ! I could use one when I am working on my woolies....great idea- thanks !
