Sewing For Sarah

The Christmas Jar Toppers are the eighth set in the Christmas In July Series.

Thank you to everyone who preordered this series!

Christmas Jar Toppers are a fun way to top off a present in a jar gift!

They are designed for the 5x7 hoop and include two variations, a snowman and gingerbread man.

Turn your jar topper into girls by adding a ribbon bow!

The Christmas jar toppers were designed to fit regular mouth quart sized mason jars (I used the Kerr brand).

Fill the jars with layers of candy, cookies mixes, decorating supplies or mini 'smores kits!

Each jar topper is made in just one hooping with no other sewing required!

The Christmas Jar Toppers Set includes:

Snowman Topper for the 5x7 hoop

Ginger Topper for the 5x7 hoop
