Pickle Jar Present

We go through a lot of pickles at our house.  An obscene amount, seriously.  If you are the same, here is a relatively easy thing to do with a jar. You will need some twine, a jar and a glue gun. 
Get a jar, remove the label and fill with some bleach and water overnight to get rid of any funky smells.  This one is ready for a wrap job.  I have this monster twine that is really not good for much of anything around here.  Its super stiff, I should have gotten the smaller twine.  Hot glue the starting point then just glue occasionally as you start the wrap process.
Keep wrapping!
Hairy little thing, isn't it?  I think that adds to the charm.
Looks nice, but a little naked for gift giving.
All dolled up and ready for giving.  I attached a gift tag and a fabric and feather pin.

View from the top... so excited to give this little Pickle Jar Present away for Christmas!

  7. I couldn't email you back because of non-replyblogger so I'm hoping back to answer your question. The metal wire trees in front of the fireplace are attached. It's one long piece.

    Thanks for visiting.
