How to Make a Mason Jar Embroidery Kit

You can use any clean one pint mason jar that you have on hand or you can purchase something like these pretty Spiral Ball Mason Jars.

I bought this box of Spiral jars on sale at Krogers at the end of fall canning season. I just knew that they’d be perfect for using for gifts.

Creating a Mason Jar Embroidery Kit really couldn’t be simpler because getting started in hand embroidery doesn’t require a lot of supplies.

You’ll want to add a selection of embroidery floss. For this first kit, I’ve chosen Christmas/winter colors of white, silver, blue, gold, red and green.

A package of embroidery needles with a variety of sizes gives the recipient the chance to try different sizes to see which works best for them as they learn to work different stitches and varying strands and types of floss.

Small embroidery scissors and a needle threader that they can keep with their embroidery supplies are nice additions to the kit.

And of course, an embroidery hoop.

Another thoughtful addition to the kit would be a couple of fat quarters of good quality cotton or linen fabric.

Roll the fat quarters and tie with ribbon.

Add everything to the mason jar.

Close the jar with the lid and ring. If desired you can also add one of those cute Metal Star Lid Inserts.

Next, cut approximately 3 ft of pretty decorative ribbon.

Find the middle of the ribbon. Wrap the ribbon around the embroidery hoop starting at the bottom and working up to the top of the embroidery hoop with half the ribbon. Then start back at the bottom of the hoop and wrap the other half of the ribbon working up to the top.

Adding the ribbon in this manner ensures that when you get both ends of the ribbon to the top of the embroidery hoop you’ll have lots left to wrap it around the top of the jar.

Tie a simple bow and the embroidery hoop becomes a small Christmas wreath to decorate your Mason Jar Embroidery Kit Gift.

There are all sorts of free embroidery designs available on the net, including dozens right here on Super Mom – No Cape! On the card that you include with the kit, please feel free to write down the url for my embroidery category. They’re sure to find a pattern they’ll enjoy stitching.

If you want to make an embroidery kit that is less seasonal, choose floss in basic colors to get them started such as black, white, grey as well as some pastels of blue, green, pink, purple and yellow.

If they already have a stash of fabric, you can replace those with a handmade pincushion and needlebook.

For the purposes of this photo, I borrowed the pincushion and needlebook that I made for my Glasses Case Sewing Kit Tutorial.

Pop everything into the jar.

Create the embroidery hoop wreath as described above.
