I'm on the hunt for very inexpensive curtain rings which would work similarly. <br /><br />Instead of zip ties (which could snag a scarf), I would use thick crochet thread to tie the rings together. A double knot should keep it in place and would be soft against any scarf.<br /><br />Mary Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16431570313853896290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-58001154945312302014-01-29T10:19:31.032-05:002014-01-29T10:19:31.032-05:00I threw two of these lids away yesterday.

Also, when doing the freezer method of cleaning out jar candles, cut the wax BEFORE freezing, it comes out easier when it's already broken into pieces that fit through the jar opening.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-43448944556851095152014-01-29T09:27:17.155-05:002014-01-29T09:27:17.155-05:00I just started to post the exact same reply!
