In this tutorial, I'm using these little glass jars that are the packaging of a regular purchase of my husband. And they kept multiplying. But I can't throw them out! They're little cute glass jars!So here's my project on what you can do with little glass jars...or big ones should you like.
Find or draw a pattern.
- I copied the photo from Pinterest and put it in a Goodnotes notebook page that was gridded to measure an inch when printed.
- I measured the circumference (around) my jar.
- I adjusted the size and cropped the pattern that I pasted in my Goodnotes notebook so it would match up at the ends for the amount of inches I had measured.

Step 5:
I used the tea light candles to prop it so it wouldn’t roll away if my kids nudged the table while drying.
I made a few...
Step 6:
Step 7:
Below, I had just done the big yellow areas to test, before I covered the whole thing.
And viola!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
What do you plan to use them for? I. Have a lot of cute little jars but no use for them. Sometimes I make a tiny flower arrangement from them. Front yard wild flowers my little ones bring in. They can hold tiny parts/screws you don’t want to lose, but otherwise I
would just line them up as a cute decor on my window sill. you?
