10 Creative Mason Jar Ideas
Winter is slowly approaching and because of the colder weather I spend most of my time at home anyway. I tend to get kinda lazy, like a bear, preparing for hibernation. So the fact I did something useful this time is actually a big deal for me. Since home improvement and craft projects are passions of mine, I decided to share it with you. While staying at home a lot, I got obsessed with mason jars. 1. Let's start with the simplest one. What we have here is a light blue glass jar, flower choice is entirely up to you. 2. This one is suitable for a centre piece at a casual wedding, or you can just place it on your desk and admire it. Fill a jar with sand and add some shells and other sea creatures. 3. The mason jar lamp idea may require some extra skills but it isn't impossible to recreate. These are the garden lamps of my dreams. 4. Now to another easy-to-do jar project that is very sentimental and romantic - the portrait mason jar. A perfect present to give to a person close to your heart.

Felt Ogee Ornament Tutorial
I woke up this morning with an image in my head of a felt snowflake. So I asked my kids to make a few traditional fold and cut paper snowflakes for me before they left for school. I wanted to use them as templates for my idea. Instead, my 10 yr old showed me a 3D paper snowflake they had made in his art class. …it worked! Step 1: Cut one 6″x 6″ square of felt. Step 2: Using a straight edge and an Xacto knife, cut along the first line from the corner to about 1/4″ from the diagonal line. Repeat until all cuts have been made, keeping the felt intact at each corner on the diagonal line. Step 3: Lift the corners of the center square and hand stitch the ends together with matching thread. Step 4: Turn the piece over and lift the corners of the second square. Step 5: Continue turning the piece over, overlapping points and stitching until all 4 squares are stitched. Step 6: Create a hanging loop at one end with a clear monofilament thread.
