they smell amazing together!.

Did I do OK for a first ruffle attempt?Thursday, 6:26 p.m..I sometimes wonder what homework time looks like for the families of the other kids in Kennedy’s class.. Here’s what ours looks like: Juice stained face, half worn-off temporary tattoo and all.. Read more about my perfect moments.I had a great idea.

I really love those round rattan place mats that everyone has, but I sometimes have pretty large groups for dinner, so I would want to get about 10 or 12.With the cost of them, it just didn’t seem like the smartest investment right now..I started thinking about other natural materials that I could use to get a similar look.

And guess what I came up with.Twine of course!.

Well, I started by braiding some long pieces and then twisting, hot glueing, and of course burning my fingers repeatedly.

So while it looks like it’s mostly twine, it’s actually about half and half twine and glue.. Well, it seemed simple enough.Place the new lids on top of your jars and close them up with the metal bands until they’re just finger tight.

Process in a boiling water canner for 5 minutes.See how easy that was?.

I only made 4 jars because I had these really pretty little jars that came with my kit, but I could have probably made 6-8 little jelly jars from this recipe quite easily.I just put the extras in the fridge to enjoy right now..
