Thing you’ll need:
Suede cord
Scissors
Hot glue gun
Glue sticks
Chalkboard tags

Things to do:
1. The first step is attaching the suede cord to the glass jar. Add a drop of hot glue to the top of the jar, just under the lid, and secure the suede to the glue. Give it time to dry before continuing to the next step.

3. Use hot glue to attach a mini clothespin to the front of the jar on the center of the leather wrap.
4. Write a sweet note or name on the chalk circle and pin it to the front of the jar.
