Using It All - Canning Lid Centers

RE: Using It All - Canning Lid Centers Post by longfarm (21) | (04/10/2002) Contact I use them to make pincushions - double and single. Just cut a circle of fabric to fit the lid; place some fiberfill in the center; place fabric over the fiberfill and bring around to back and glue. Then glue the whole thing into a used jar ring that is no longer suitable for canning (rusted). I paint my jar ring. Then decorate anyway you like with trim, etc. I am sure someone would be glad to give you some of these rings instead of throwing them away. :) Food Saver Link | (04/10/2002) Below is the Food Saver Link.

Use your imagination. Link: syd barr RE: Using It All - Canning Lid Centers Post by sydfred (53) | (04/08/2002) Contact Another use is use them to cap mason jars with a Food Saver Vacuum Sealer. You can save food in the 'fridge for a much longer period of time. This does not replace the canning method. In addition to using jars you can seal in special bags that eliminate freezer burn. WWW.YahooGroups.com has a Food Saver site. It is a really neat gadget ... everyone should have one!

Glue gathered lace around the outside and you can spray paint the back side for ascetics and add a pin backing. Decorate the inside circle. I have done gag gifts as well as nursing home projects.
