mason (i dont know what you would call this craft) jar

over the weekend i decided to do a craft. a craft that i have been wanting to do for awhile, but like all other crafts that i pin on pinterest. i just look, pin and never do it. so this weekend i did one, I DID THIS. you like it? well here is how you can do it.
 here is what you need.
glue.
a little thing to hold a couple tablespoons of water.
a paint brush.
scissors.
fabric.
mason jar.

// FIRST // 
cut your fabric into small little strips.
mix a lot of glue with a little amount of water. you really just want water glue.
// SECOND //
douse your fabric into the glue water mixture
run the strip between your two fingers to get the excess glue off.
// THIRD //
put the strip inside your mason jar
// FORTH //
lay the strip on the inside of the jar. i use the paint brush to help guide your strip
// FIFTH //
from bottom to top press/brush your fabric against the mason jar with your paint brush.
then repeat with your next strip.
fyi, if you see a huge bubble just press down on the bubble with your paint brush or push it off to the side of the fabric. though you will not get rid of the tiny little ones. 
also
let it dry over night then cut of the ends at the top. you might have to re-glue a little bit. after all that your good to go!
you can put a fake flower in it or you can put a fake candle. dont put a real one in. you dont want to see  you hard work go into flames.
