I've been meaning to try crochet jar covers for months - they've been featured in many craft and lifestyle mags this summer. Some baby food jars were kindly donated by Alfie (my friend's little grandson) and I tried a couple of covers yesterday. I first tried a lovely free pattern from Lulu Loves for the tall jar and then altered a basic fillet crochet pattern for the smaller jar.

As well as being very useful as small flower vases and for small item storage, they make lovely tealight lanterns. I used real tealights for the photo but I think those battery ones would be safer as the jars are so small. I blew out the flames as soon as I'd taken the photo. Normal sized jam jars might be ok. Lighting needs one of those gas lighters - not matches or spills as I tried to my cost!!
Unfortunately Alfie has now left baby food far behind and I'll need to find a new source for my next lot of jars!
How pretty they look with the lights inside them . Hugs Mrs a.

ReplyDeleteHi Ann! I thought I had already commented here! The covers are really pretty with the light shining through. I hope you are well as you haven't blogged in a while. I look forward to seeing your next papercraft project.
