Too Early For Berry Jam Making?

February 21, 2021 Leave a Comment

It’s still very much winter here in Nova Scotia with a couple of fresh inches of snow on the ground. It looks so pretty now that the sun is out with very few clouds in the blue sky. It is chilly though. But today I’m feeling positive, thinking ahead to when things start growing in the garden again. So as I sat down to make today’s simple Sunday project an idea popped into my head. I’d start preparing for berry season with a simple jam jar wrap.

Simple jam jar wrap and top created using the free Berry Delightful paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

TASTY BERRY PAPER

This all started with the Berry Delightful 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (DSP). This pack is a lovely combination of different berry images, plus coordinating complimentary background designs. I also got it for free, but more about that later.

First I found a jam jar and measured around the middle. This is a 1/2lb (250ml) mason jar that I’ll use later in the season to fill with my home-made jam.

From the Berry Delightful DSP I chose the small gingham design, and that led me to choose Poppy Parade Card for my first wrap layer.

I cut a 2-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ strip of Poppy Parade Card and put Tear & Tape Adhesive on one short end. Then I wrapped the card around the jar using the tape to fix the card to itself. This way I would be able to remove the completed sleeve when it finally became time to add the jam.

With the first layer done I then cut a 2″ x 9″ strip of the red gingham paper. I wrapped this around the jar and attached it to the card layer.

Finally I chose the blueberry pattern from the DSP pack. After cutting a 1-1/2″ x 9″ strip I wrapped and glued it onto the gingham layer. So that was the jar wrap done.

All I needed to do now was go back to the gingham paper with the metal insert from the mason jar lid. I placed it onto the paper and drew around the edge with a pencil. Then using Paper Snips I cut out the circle. After I’ve made and processed my jam I’ll remove the screw on part and wipe over the sealed lid. Then I’ll simply lay the DSP circle on top and replace the screw-on lid to hold it in place. I can then add a label to identify the jam inside and it’s ready to store or gift. Quick, easy and oh so pretty.
