Hey there, ho there! I hope our little peacocks are awesome today!

Today, I bring to you a neat, awesomesauce

project that you are going to run away from your computer to

do on your own! Right now! (Well, as soon as you see what it is!)

We all know how (I’m from the south, so it’s a proper noun)

Mason Jar glasses (even though I used Ball….if you can

find Mason…give me a holler ya’ll)

are making their rounds in the crafting world as “to go” and

“in the car” glasses. The pints fit perfectly in your car cup holder,

and they are so “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” friendly, they

have to be every crafters dream! Not to mention how

customizable they are! I’ve seen them used for everything

from Bachelorette parties to kids birthday parties, and

even as favors. But WAIT~!!!! There is a flaw. If

there is a flaw in practicality, I WILL find it. I love

the idea. But until my awesomesauce inlaws introduced

me to “sweatless” glasses, I have spent more hours

wrapping towels around my beverage glasses than I

have actually cutting paper. So, I was determined to

make these guys “sweatless”. Since I couldn’t change

the physical make-up of a canning jar….Well, I could.

I’m brilliant, but that’s more of a tutorial than I am ready

for…I decided to use our awesomePinque Peacock products and make these jars…..SWEATERS!

That’s right. Sweaters for the Summer. I used two different

knitting looms for this project. For the boy’s glass,

I made a button down, and for the girls I made a turtleneck.

On each, I used our awesome

Pinque Peacock buttons. On the boys, I used the Large

1.5 Fabric Covered Button as the actual closure. For the girls,

the sweater is a turtleneck, with the

3/4 Fabrick Covered Buttons used as grippies, so your hands don’t slip.

I used 100% Cotton yarn, to be absorbent. There is nothing a crafter

hates more than a dull cutter and a wet drinking glass. I hope these

sweaters catch on like crazy! There is so much you can

do with the design ideas~!!!! I love the

Pinque Peacock buttons on these….

They are the perfect weight, and perfect size for the job!!.

 

 

(YES, that is Guild Wars 2 in the background.  

Don't judge me for how I spend my non-crafting time, lol)

I hope you have all enjoyed my project.  Stay happy and Keep Crafting!_
