Make a Sewing Kit in a Jar

Cut out a circle from your material about 1 inch larger than your canning jar lid. You can cut out a pattern on a sheet of paper to get the right side if needed.

Place batting between material and the canning lid. Press into jar lid and glue ends on the underside of the lid.

Place basic supplies in your jar and screw on lid. Some supply ideas could be small scissors, a seam ripper, measuring tape, colored threads, a package of sewing needles and straight pins.

Try making a mini pin cushion to match the jar lid.
