How cute are these yellow bow-tie mason jars that are perfect for use at a wedding or garden party’s drinking jars? The ‘men’ jars have bow-ties and the ‘lady’ jars have their bow-ties around their middles.

How to make the bow-ties?
- Cut a piece of felt approximately 20cm long and 8cm wide.
- Cut another smaller piece of approximately 8cm long and 4cm wide.
- Fold the bigger piece in 3 width-wise.
- Now, fold the piece in half as per the image below so that the opening is in the middle back of the bow-tie. fasten the two ends together using a needle and thread.
- Using the smaller piece, fold it in half in the same way as the previous step, but width-wise. Place it around the bigger, sewn together piece to form a bow-tie and sew it together again.
