Step-by-step tutorial

First draw a circle on the fabric using a cereal bowl or similar. Then cut it out with the fabric scissors.

Design tip: If you want, use a sewing machine to quilt the edges to create a narrow edge.

Print out the motif template and place it centrally under the fabric circle. Trace the template with the double-ended fabric pens in the desired colours. Now create different fabric covers in this way. Whether lettering, colourful fruit motifs or both – there are no limits to creativity.

Place your fabric circles with the design in the middle of the jam jar lid.

Attach the fabric circle to the jam jar lid with an elastic band and tie a beautiful, matching fabric band around it.

Done!
