Store your sewing essentials in a handy jar with a pincushion lid.

YOU WILL NEED:

# glass canning jar with a two-piece lid

# fabric scrap

# fiberfill

# fabric glue

instructions

1. Remove the jar lid and set aside the ring part. From the fabric scrap, cut a circle that's 2* greater in diameter than the circular part of the lid.

2. Glue a small handful of fiberfill to the circular part. Cover the fiberfill with the fabric circle. Glue the fabric edges to the circular part underside to create the pincushion.

3. Place the pincushion over the jar opening. Screw the ring part back onto the jar to secure the pincushion.

in reply to where to buy the jars

they are jars for canning. you can buy them in department stores esp in the summer when many people can fresh foods from their garden. many hardware stores even carry them during that time also. right now, i'd try to find them online due to the fact that they are pretty much out of season in the us.
