Progress


Well I'm done with this part of  my project.   The lid is yellow, i haven't made a hole in it yet, need some ideas
i'm thinking of melting it with my glue gun but then what, will it still catch my yarn???, will it just burn??? i would hate to ruin the lid.

This is what i'm working on now. I have seen some very nice ceramic jars on the internet for your yarn, to keep it clean for one and keep it from unraveling. Also to keep the pets paws and hair off of it. As you can see we drink a lot of tea here, so i came up with this idea of recycling this can for my yarn. I thought of covering it with some pretty paper mod podge style but i decided to us my scrapes of yarn instead. I started with a base and then went up like you would when making a basket. As for the top i will be cutting a hole in the lid for the yarn to thru but i don't know yet how i will do it. Since the lid is plastic i'm thinking of using the hot glue gun to melt it and hope that this will keep from catching or snagging the yarn as it passes thru. Any ideas would be would be greatly appreciated.
