My friend Jenine sent this to me during a craft swap and I thought it was PURE GENIUS! These are wraps for large Jar candles like Yankee Candles or large mason jars that you would do cookies in a jar for gifts. You simply wrap this around the jar and it covers the label and turns your candle from an advertising scheme into a cute addition to your home - or adds that extra festive touch to any mason jar treat!
These are something that I will certainly be making for this Christmas and all the gifts we give out. Simple, EASY and SUPER SUPER SUPER cute!
Items Needed:
Fabrics of your choice
A sewing machine (or hand stitch)
SEW ON Velcro
Embellishments
Needle point floss
Directions:
1. Cut large piece of fabric out to be 16 inches x 5 1/2 inches
2. Cut short piece of fabric to be 4 inches x 3 inches
3. Fold edges over 1/4 inch twice (on top of itself so you don't see actual edges) and iron down. Once all four edges are folded and ironed, sew them together.
4. Cut sew on velcro to be 3 inches long.
5. Sew velcro onto fabric. One piece (the soft side) is sewn onto the front LEFT of fabric. Now flip the fabric over and sew the other piece (rough side) to the Back LEFT of fabric. Velcro should be on opposite sides and opposite ends when done.
6. Decide on what you want the wrap to say. Then using needle point, stitch it into your small piece of fabric. Add any embellishments at this time.
7. Sew small piece of fabric onto Large piece of fabric centered.
