Don’t you get tired of chasing your yarn…I do! Ain’t nobody got time for that! After crocheting for years and chasing that ball, I decided to do something about it. I needed something big enough to hold a large skein of yarn. I’ve seen many containers out there but nothing was big enough. So I went to my first source… my Pinterest boards and then to JoAnn’s to feed my creative mind.
At JoAnn’s I found some cute decorative elements for decorating Mason jars. I bought this cute name tag and used one of the large Mason jars I had collecting dust at home; and I came up with this cute jar. So perfect! I love it, because it’s big enough for the large skeins and I can also use it with my smaller ones too (and it’s large enough to hold my needles). I plan to make some more because it’s easy, fun decorative and functional. “Happy crafting!”
SUPPLIES:
1/2 gallon mason jar
decorative element
rubber grommet
Drill

Hi Cynthia!
I simply love the looks of your jar which is even more accentuated by the stunning decorative frame!!
Hi Maya! Thank you so much…I’m so excited about making more of these! Thanks for stopping by HNY!!
What a cute idea! I have too much yarn and projects going at once though – I would need at least 6 jars! I like this idea for when I crochet or knit by my computer though. I also love the jar jewelry tag – I didn’t know there was such a thing.
Thank you Kimberlee, I didn’t know about the jar jewelry until I went to JoAnn’s…I thought “how cute”…thanks for stopping by, hope you get a chance to make one it so easy.
