For this tutorial, I used one of the canning jar cover designs available at Embroidery Library. The large size of the designs are about 2.6" x 2.6", which work well with wide-mouthed Mason jars. The smaller size of the designs are about 2" x 2", which work well with the standard size jars.
Steps To Complete
|
Begin by marking the fabric for the embroidery design. |
|
Print a template of the design from embroidery software. |
|
Hoop the stabilizer and fabric together, aligning the marks on the fabric with the marks on the hoop. |
|
Attach the hoop to the machine and load the design. Move the hoop so the needle is right over the center point, and embroider the design. |
|
After embroidering, trim the excess stabilizer away from the back. Leave about 1/2" of stabilizer around the design. |
|
Measure and mark 1 1/2" out from the circle to make a larger circle. This is where the fabric will be cut later. |
|
Place the fabric on top of the jar, aligning the inner circle with the jar lid. |
|
Trim the fabric along the larger circle with pinking shears. |
|
You can also add polyester fiberfill to bring a puffy look to the jar. |
|
Use masking tape to hold the fabric against the jar while you add the ribbon. |
|
Add the ribbon as shown. |
|
Adapt this gift idea for several seasons and occasions. |
