Materials Needed:

1. Glass jar or container
2. Old clothes or fabric scraps (cotton or linen works best)
3. Scissors
4. Mod Podge or decoupage glue
5. Paint brushes
6. Decorative ribbons or twine (optional)

Three Simple Steps:

Step 1: Prepare and Cut Fabric Pieces

Clean the glass jar and gather old clothes or fabric scraps. Cut them into various shapes and sizes to create unique designs. You can also cut out your favorite design to place in your jar.

Step 2: Apply Decoupage Technique

Using a brush, apply decoupage glue to a small section of the jar. Place the fabric pieces on the glue-covered area and add another layer of decoupage on top. Repeat this process until the entire jar is covered.

Step 3: Let It Dry and Add Final Touches

Set the jar aside and allow it to dry completely. This may take a few hours, depending on the climate and the number of layers applied. For extra charm, seniors can tie decorative ribbons or twine around the neck of the jar. This step adds a lovely finishing touch to the project.
