Materials:
- Glass jar
- Crochet lace ribbon
- Twine
- Glue dots
Instructions:
- Place a glue dot on the bottom of the jar.
- Press the end of the lace ribbon on the glue dot and wrap the lace around the jar as many times as you like. The pattern does not need to be perfect; wrap upwards and downwards, criss-crossing as you go. Attach the end with another glue dot.
- Hold the end of the twine against the jar with your thumb and begin wrapping around the lace. Wrap randomly, up and down and around until you are happy with it. Trim and tie in a knot or a bow.
- Use your fingers to scrunch the material together, pushing both the top and bottom toward the center of the jar. You can use additional glue dots to hold stray pieces in place if needed.
