Instructions:

  1. Using a ruler and pencil, measure 8 cm in from one corner of the timber square. Repeat on the opposite corner.
  2. Place the jar in the middle of the square, in between the two marks, so that it is diagonal to the square.
    Lay a leather strap over the middle of the jar. Hold one end of the strap over one mark and staple in place. Repeat on the other end, pulling the strap tight to ensure that the jar is held tight.
  3. Place a gold nail over the staple on one side of the leather strap and hammer in place.
    Repeat on the other side. Make as many timber jar vases as you require and hang them on the wall using velcro hanging strips.
