Thread in a Pickle Jar

I used Mod Podge to adhere the fabric to the "Mt. Olive" label. I had to first covered it in a dark fabric so the Mt Olive label would not show through. The cutting was the hard part. I cut it with my rotary on the jar. It's a wonder I still have all 10 fingers. haha

If anyone's interested I can do a tutorial. Although, I'm pretty sure it's simple enough you could figure it out.

  1. Don't you just LOVE that fabric????? Sooo cute. I also like the idea of wrapping it around the jar of thread. You can appreciate it every day.

    BTW...our momma tortoise laid eight eggs on Friday.

  2. I love your turtle fabric on the jar. You are certainly making use of your mod podge win. (I always want to call it modge podge for some reason...I guess I like the rhyme.)

  3. The threads in a jar would make a really cheerful spot in a sewing room. A really clever idea.

  5. Oh, Mod Podge does rock. Beware jars and cans and wood, etc. If I get my hands on it, it will soon be covered. Actually, to tell you the truth, I have a gallon jug of wallpaper paste. I was told it was less expensive. Don't tell.
