Jar Lid Opener - SUPER EASY CHRISTMAS GIFTS! - 10 Minute Craft! 

Great gift idea! I use a sewing machine needle in place of where you used a sewing pin to help get tight angles moving again. It’s sturdier and won’t bend. 😊

I like the idea of the “x”, as in making potholders or coasters.

I've seen them made with a small magnet sewn into the corner after you turn it, before stiching it up. Then it sticks to the side of your refrigerator.

Very nice! This shelf liner rubber also works great to "sweep" away bits of thread, lint on my ironing board. Even works well for cat hair on surfaces! I have also adde it to the undersides of chair and bench pads to keep them from sliding.

Great idea. I might try it as a circle and not a square and add a hanging loop.

I like this simple and useful craft. At first, I didn't understand why 2 pieces of fabric were needed. Now I see that it adds more cushioning to the lid opener. TFS!

Great idea, except, would've used a Lunch plate or small bowl as a template to make this Jar Opener ROUND !!!

That was so neat.

Thank you great idea

So glad to see this tutorial. It is a lot easier than the ones I’ve been making with a binding.

Thanks for the video 😊🎄

Wow! What a great idea for a stocking stuffer. Thanks.

Cute fabric! I use mine all the time!

This is awesome! Would never have thought of this. Thanks

Thanks Cindy for this easy to make project. I love your fabric choices.

Great way to make a necessary tool in the kitchen custom

Love this! A piece of paper under would keep it from sticking. Wouldn'tbe that hard to pull off the paper when done!

I'm going to attempt to make a few of them

Thank you great video I’m trying some of these today to match some bowl cozies I’m making

Love this tutorial …. Thanks … Xmas gifts for sewing girlfriends

Cindy, I’ve made a round jar lid opener, but, I used batting in between the fabrics. It turned out well but a little hard to turn out. Thank you for idea and I will try it out. I always enjoy your videos!❤️

Hi Cindy. This is a great tutorial. So fast and easy, but most importantly it works perfectly! Thank you.

For persons with a weaker grip (Arthritis, Neurology concern in the fingers/hands, decreased sensation/circulation in fingers/hand, I suggest adding another outside layer of the rubberized "shelf liner" on the "back" so your hand doesn't slip on the cotton fabric while gripping a container top. One of my Grandmother's showed me how to use the back edge of a dinner knife, holding the handle and tap (not gently, however, but enough to dent the lid's edge) on edge of container top around in 6 places (like on the face of a clock @ 12, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 o'clock) to loosen the pressurized seal; makes it easier to open. Another suggestion: make two 2-sided grippers, holding one around the jar, & the other hand loosening the lid.

😱😱😱 your sewing machine was singing to me. I am enchanted. What kind do you have? I am due for an upgrade 😬

Handy idea-since you are doing a 1/4” around the edges, why couldn’t you put the top side down to do the top stitching and then there would not be a “sticking” problem?

I wonder if you could also put a ribbon all around on the rubber side and end it in a loop. That will help with the sewing since it won’t stick. Thanks!

👍💚

Ong my daughter was telling me about this. She got one at a bazaar. So I typed in and there it was. This will be great for any gift. Also your hands look like mine. We could be twins. Lol I have my mom’s hands. Happy sewing

I used a square piece of paper under the non slip material so it wouldn't stick.

I love that you only use one side cloth and the other the gripping material. I have seen it done with two pieces of fabric and I thought .... WHY?

Definitely will be trying this! Why the second layer of fabric, though? Because it will be visible through the liner?

Love this! Can you tell me what size needle and stitch length works best for this. Thank you!

How important is the cotton thread? Is it an absolute must? Ty

Is there any way I can make this i don't have a sewing machine or know how to sew i would love to make these for my family and friends

I I’m tryin to make a bunch of these for my granddaughter to sell at her school craft fair. Mine never glide through the machine like yours. If I tug it gets askew and doesn’t look so good. Does anyone one know of a breakaway or dissolving interfacing? Any other suggestions would be helpful. I love your tutorials every time. Thanks for all of them.

What are you using to press on? Cool project!!!

Could you put a piece of tissue paper on the rubber side while top stitching so it doesn’t stick to machine bed?

Thanks Cindy. I make these and also make a 2"x2" for a bottle opener. I sell these but I can't find a cute picture for my price tags. Have any ideas

What size needle most everything I watch never tells needle sizes

Can you put these in the washer and dryer?

What is the blue material used with the grip and design material and is it necessary to us it

What happens if you sew with the shelf liner on top?

Oops it saids Scott Allison. But my name is Patsy Allison.

Does your machine need to be oiled, it sounds screechy.

Why 2 pieces of material, not one
