DIY Project: Sewing Kit in a Jar (with video)

I was browsing at YouTube to find some craft ideas that can be done using jars available at home. But most of the jar crafts are I found were using mason jars. Since I only have those ordinary jars at home, I decided to make something out of this jars I got.

Just to give some idea, mason jars got 2 lids which is a good jar to store your food, etc. Because I only have a 1-lid jar, I tried to reinvent and make a Sewing Kit in a Jar as a gift idea for a friend!

Materials:

Cardboard
Fabric
Jar
Stuffing for Pin Cushion (Cushion Fillers/Cotton/Foam)
Ribbon
Hot Glue Gun
Pencil
Scissors
And decorative items to decorate your jar

Procedure:

Making the Pin Cushion

In a cardboard, trace a circle using the jar opening as a pattern. Feel free to cut it and adjust so that the cardboard can fit perfectly to the jar.
Next, start gluing your fabric to the cardboard, then when you are done half-way, put the stuffings inside. Since I have cushion fillers, I decided to use them. They can be brought at craft stores and also at book stores.
Now you are done with the pin cushion! The pin cushion will serve as the LID of the jar. As a support so you can open the lid with ease, use a ribbon and glue it a the side of the pin cushion. (See image below).
Decorating the Jar

Now feel free now to decorate your jar. I used lace and ribbons to decorate the jar.
And now you are done!

I provided a video which can show you a more detailed tutorial on how I made sewing kit in a jar:

So there you have it! Isn't it a great gift idea for your mom and also your friends? You recycled a jar and also personalized it and make a sewing kit out of it! :D

Remember your creativity is not the finding of a thing, but making something out of it until it is found. Thanks for reading! ツ
