Customise some plain glass jars with vintage-inspired embroidered labels
Jars are one of my favourite things to keep on hand for crafting. You can decorate them in a million-and-one ways, you can create gifts and projects with them, and then at the end you can use them to store your goodies.

Step 1
Decide what type of design you want to have on your jar label. I used some vintage-style floral pictures that I had sketched as inspiration.
Step 2
Cut a square of loose-weave fabric (I used unprimed canvas) to fit your jar.
Step 3
Embroider your design on the fabric. You don't have to stick to flowers... try words or a geometric design!
Step 4
To adhere the label to the jar use Mod Podge on the back of the embroidered fabric and then all over the label once it was attached – this prevents the edges of the canvas from fraying. Voila!
