So I know it has been a bit longer than I would like between posts but I have a good reason. We found out we are moving to Italy in a few months. This is one of the moments where I am thrilled with the Air Forces decision to move us because it is the one place I have wanted to be stationed. With that said, I have not had time to do many of the pins I want to tackle. But I did finally get a chance to make my very own Ball Jar Spill Proof Glass. I loved this idea from http://www.littlebitfunky.com/2012/05/how-to-turn-mason-jar-into-spillproof.html. Her site is great and you can find the instructions on how to do this project if you follow the link.
So this
project was pretty easy to do. It really just took a bit of muscle
drilling the hole through the jar lid. A quick hint when you are
drilling the hole, Don't Let Go! it will spin and try and take your
finger off with it. Trust me, I was interrupted by one of my boys and
turned around, letting go of the lid and nearly cut myself with the
spinning disk. Lesson learned. Plus if it's spinning it's not going to
be drilling through. Also beware of the sharp edge when you are done
drilling. I used a pair of pliers to pull off the edge, it came off
easy, and then inserted the rubber grommet. In a future post I will be
tinting this jar a pretty color to make it even more festive. 
Overall
this is a super easy and great project to do that will reap the rewards
of cute glasses that don't spill and the added benefit of keeping the
bugs out if you are outside having a nice glass of sweet tea or
lemonade. I would rate this project a 10 for easy and useful.
Now it's your turn.
