A Spotted Canary Project by Leslie

8 July 2011

Think outside of the picture frame!  Creating a Vacation Fund Jar is a breeze when using an easy-to-stitch picture. Add a few accents to coordinate and you quickly have a fun way to save money for that special trip.

Instructions

STEP 1:

Complete design as directed on the instructions included with your kit.

STEP 2:

Trim fabric, leaving 1/2 inch border around stitched area. Fold under along the edge of the design and press.

STEP 3:

Cut a piece of fabric to fit around the jar. Allow enough fabric for overlap on the back of your jar.

STEP 4:

Turn the top and bottom edges under 1/4 inch and machine stitch in place. Attach the stitched piece to the center of your fabric using a hidden stitch or an applique stitch.

STEP 5:

Embroider the words BEACH FUND on the fabric using a simple back stitch. Add a border around the stitched piece using stem stitch.

STEP 6:

Hand sew the fabric piece around the jar.

STEP 7:

Glue assorted shells to the lid of the jar. Accent the neck of the jar with assorted ribbons.
