A) Measure and cut 6" off the end of a sweater sleeve. Note: The length may vary according to your jar size.
B) Slide the sweater sleeve over the jar so the cut edge is on the bottom. Tip: Tuck the cut edge of the sweater under so it looks like a finished edge.
STEP 2:
A) Wrap burlap ribbon around the jar to measure length. Allow an extra inch for gluing, and then cut to size.
B) Paint the piece of burlap ribbon with white paint. Let dry.
C) Wrap the painted burlap around the jar, centering it over the sweater. Secure in place with hot glue. Note: Match the burlap seam with the sweater seam.
STEP 3:
A) Cut a book page to 3 ½" x 7 ½". Use a gold paint marker to highlight the long edges of the page.
B) Fold the page accordian style, from top to bottom. Note: Size of folds do not matter. Open the folds and run a thin bead of tacky glue down the center, over the peaks and valleys. Refold and pinch so the glue holds the accordian folds together in the center.
C) Fold the accordian folds in half. Glue between the first and last folds. Let dry.
D) Open the fan and glue between the remaining first and last folds. Let dry.
STEP 4:
A) Cut a 12" length of jute.

A) Color a pearl with the gold paint marker. Let dry.
B) Hot glue the gold pearl to the center of the jute button.
