Repurposed Jar - pincushion and organizer

I like saving the glass jars from salsa, spaghetti sauces, or pickles for my art or sewing projects.

With a pickles jar, i created a sewing accessories organizer with a pin cushion on top.

Here is the finished product


made pockets


All the things that went into this project

the finished product


the other side, with a button and elastic band to hold the pockets together


tada! a very handy organizer!

    I absolutely love this! I always need these things at the same time. It'd be great to throw in my purse to take to the in-laws and work on something while I chat. Fabulous. Making this soon!
