Description:

This will be a fun swap.For this round we will be making a bottle based on "Things with Wings"I like creating new things don't you? Items to include in your bottle could be bees,dragonflies,birds,butterflies,angels.You can include charms or fabric,paper ect...So long as it has something with wings on it.I plan to take the top of mine and set a birds nest on it.I will add some little eggs and a bird with perhaps a butterfly perched there as well.Use your imagination and let those creative juices flow.

You will take:

  1. Mason Jar or something comparable and decorate the top...

2.Fill the jar with your partners likes.

Such as:Beads,buttons,small fabric,embellishments,jewelry pieces,charms ect..

Just anything you think your partner will like from their profile.Please send items you would like to receive yourself.You will notice that the sign up date is close but send date is in May.

I have done it this way to save on shipping.This is open to US and Canada only due to the possible weight.If you would like to use something besides a mason jar that will be fine.However it must be the same height and still be able to convert the top to a pin cushion.

Any questions? Please send me a message.Lets have fun filling those jars.

EDITED

Unfortunately do to the amount of so sends from Newbies i feel i have to add this.I cannot continue to make up swaps for those who donot send their items.It gets really expensive especially if it's a dollar amount swap.

I donot want to sound mean or harsh.Swap-bot is suppose to be a fun place to swap not get cheated.More and more are signing up getting their swaps and then deleting their profile.Worse yet some even leave a 1 when they know they received their item and then delete their profiles.

I have had this happen alot lately as swap-bot becomes more popular.No-one in the future will be allowed to sign up for my swaps if they are a Newbie unless they will be receiving at least 3 swap ratings before the i assign partners.Most of my swaps are set for a month to two months ahead of time.The only exception to this will be the following.

At least 3 people you have sent your swaps to that have received their item and can vouch for you.

For those with just one 1 rating please sign up.For those with more then 1 no send you will need to contact me or i will remove you.

Sorry if this sounds mean or harsh but I'm getting increasingly frustrated with those who just don't care about or respect others.

Sorry about the picture i wanted to show you what can be done with the top.You could do another pin cushion as before.Perhaps with a little bird ect perched on the top...You don't have to make yours as fancy unless you want to.I hope you will all decide to join me again.I will take a pic of what mine will look like soon.I need to get my first one done before i start on another lol....

What size should the jar be?

Kristin 03/ 2/2007 #

Are there instructions somewhere on how to turn a canning jar lid into a pin cushion?

funkykchicken 03/ 2/2007 #

natana:It should be a quart or pint size.

Kristin:Here is a link to a tutorial

You can decorate the top however you like though.Let your imagination take flight.

I tried to go to the website that you listed but it keeps telling me that that page has been removed!! Am I doing something wrong?!! Can't wait to do this swap!! I have already started thinking of things to fill my jar!!

If you google "mason jar pin cushion" you will find one.Other then that I'm not sure.I'm having lots of fun myself.
