Candle glass decorated with crochet hoops

I always wondered what to do with empty candle glasses. I used to put plain candle tablets, but it looked kind of boring. Then I saw my sister making colourful yarn crochet hoops. I tried to figure out what to do with them.  I was not keen on making hanging decorations or garlands. So here is my interpretation what you can make easily at home.

I craft, U craft!

     

      
      Materials and tools: 

• crochet hoops from smika.etsy.com (or buttons)

•  glass

• glue gun 

 
 

In the first place, measure your glass to find out how many crochet hoops you will need. Try to line crochet hoops on a table in order to see colour combination. Take one crochet hoop at a time and put glue on it.

Put crochet hoop on the bottom of the glass as quick as possible.

  
Form the first row.

 
 The second line should be aligned in between of first row crochet hoops as shown in picture below.

Continue till you reach the top of the glass.

That's it! You have a nice candle holder!

Easy DIY fabric lids for herb jars

My mom collects medicinal herbs every summer. So she and all family drinks herbal tea during winter. She used to storage them in paper bags, but this summer she decided to put them into glass jars with fabric lids. So now she can see what is inside and does not need to look for tags. It is more practical and not so messy. Herbs „are breathing“ through fabric. 

I noticed changes in tea drawer and a vision of new design has appeared in my head. So I decided to make some new fabric lids. I made a little mess on fabric with a help of sewing machine. 

See how everything was created.  Here’s a super easy tutorial. I did it, so you can do it! 

I craft, U craft!

 

 

Materials and tools:

• sewing machine (or hand sewing)
• sewing yarn (colors you like)
• organic fabric
• scissors
• pencil
• bowl (or someting round)
• office rubber bands (or fabric band) 

 
 
Trace a circle on fabric with help of bowl and pencil.

Today's sewing machines come with many sewing machine stitch options. Use different color of yarn for each stitch. Go all over the fabric back and forth. Do not forget to sew edges of lids to avoid fabric fraying.

 

Cut out circles and iron, if needed.

Put a fabric on a jar and wrap it with a rubber band around one or several times. You can tie fabric band instead.
