I did buy a metal punch, it was totally one of the best craft purchases I made last year.<br />xo JaimeJaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741163890212878494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305089771170290366.post-68956258993642982742013-01-06T20:28:09.549-08:002013-01-06T20:28:09.549-08:00Oh ok, Jeff suggested a huge nail lolOh ok, Jeff suggested a huge nail lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305089771170290366.post-31878590958179935712013-01-06T16:39:35.059-08:002013-01-06T16:39:35.059-08:00I think that you could find some stiff plastic to ...I think that you could find some stiff plastic to re-use and cut it into a circle to fit your cup top, with the punched hole in it for your straw. Or a plastic mesh like from an onion bag could be stretched across the jar opening for support before you put your crochet top on. Also, your crocheted top could be big enough to come down the sides of the ring threads and be tied tightly around the neck of the jar. I have crocheted jar tops like that in which people gifted me jelly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294628724653633269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305089771170290366.post-59484810581504052482012-12-07T09:09:04.774-08:002012-12-07T09:09:04.774-08:00Hi Renee!

I've since bought a metal punch and spent all summer sipping iced tea from mason jars! <br /><br />http://www.crochetdynamite.com/2012/06/national-iced-tea-day.html<br /><br />The crochet lids were cumbersome, and more than once they sagged into our drinks. Cardboard might work, but using the lids was lovely once I used the hole punch. Thanks for the kind words!<br /><br />xo JaimeJaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741163890212878494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305089771170290366.post-64092185706895486762012-12-06T19:40:40.639-08:002012-12-06T19:40:40.639-08:00ohoh LOVE THIS! do you have a pattern, ok so do yo...ohoh LOVE THIS! do you have a pattern, ok so do you remove the ring,cut piece cardboard,lay the crochet circle on it and then screw to jar?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305089771170290366.post-64799228672493756162012-07-27T14:47:05.139-07:002012-07-27T14:47:05.139-07:00Hi Noelle!!

It punches like the lids are made of paper! <br /><br />But the rubber grommet is GENIUS!!!! Total awesome points!!! I now can't live without trying that. I am off to make a Home Depot run...<br />xo JaimeJaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741163890212878494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305089771170290366.post-80577029328024995462012-07-27T13:13:45.023-07:002012-07-27T13:13:45.023-07:00Hi!

If you want to get super-fancy, you can get a rubber grommet from a home improvement store to fit the straw hole for extra awesome points.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18113977337426132549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305089771170290366.post-91409289973070594042012-06-26T17:58:32.649-07:002012-06-26T17:58:32.649-07:00Thanks Goldie!
