A few months ago I found a cute little pot at the thrift store - evidently it held a candle in its previous life (the bottom of it has an imprint of "Lang Candles, Ltd"). And I'm a sucker for cute little things...
The flower is from "Kindness Matters," a pattern by Teresa Miller in the Summer 2020 issue of Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher. I changed the bottom leaves a little bit, and used GAST Cranberry for the red. I stitched it 1-over-2 on a scrap of 40-ct. linen, and made the lid from basswood circles. The top is a 2.5 inch circle, and there is a smaller one attached to the underside so it won't slide off the jar too easily. I made the trim with perle cotton, and hid the joined ends of the cording with the wee button. It was a fun little project! And now I have a new item to hunt for in thrift shops...

What a cute finish! Thrift store finds are the best.
That's a good idea for a finish.
What a lovely idea for a finish, especially if you can pick up the pots cheaply.
