If you plan on making more than one I would make a template out of card stock first:

Measure the inside lid and add an inch around it:

If you look closely you can see the pencil marks

Using the cardstock cut out a piece using the lid


Place the canning ring on your fabric to center the design:

Using the template draw on the wrong side of the fabric and cut it out

Using a small amount if fiberfill on top of the canning lid:

Adjust the fabric pattern:

Glue the fabric to the lid:

Apply hot glue to the cardstock piece that you cut using the lid earlier

You can apply the glue to the lid instead

Apply to cover over the edges:

Screw the lid on the jar, add pins and your done

The skull one below is a sewing kit

It is done the same way except you use a larger jar

buy a sewing kit at either the Dollar store or Walmart

Place the items in the bottom and you are done

Depending on the fabric, jars, pins and sewing kit you can make these very inexpensively They would make great gifts for newlyweds and college students
