There is a baboon in me … clambering-clawed … dog-faced … yawping a galoot’s hunger … hairy under the armpits … here are the hawk-eyed hankering men … here are the blond and blue-eyed women … here they hide curled asleep waiting … ready to snarl and kill … ready to sing and give milk … waiting-I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.
There is a fish in me … I know I came from saltblue water-gates … I scurried with shoals of herring … I blew waterspouts with porpoises … before land was … before the water went down … before Noah … before the first chapter of Genesis.
There is a hog in me … a snout and a belly … a machinery for eating and grunting … a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun-I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go. There is a fox in me … a silver-gray fox … I sniff and guess … I pick things out of the wind and air … I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers … I circle and loop and double-cross. Drinks are now being served.There is a wolf in me … fangs pointed for tearing gashes … a red tongue for raw meat … and the hot lapping of blood-I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go. Quick…easy…fun and festive! Even if your time is limited…you can find time to make these. Maybe a sewing kit or crafting supplies…just leave out the hole. You can use the same method just to decorate the lid of a mason jar filled with yummy preserves or other delicious treats. These take no time at all and you can make them for a crowd! Saving yourself a ton because the lids with the holes can be very expensive but now you can make dozens!
I didn’t do it on these because the gold matched perfectly! Then it is time to add your favorite drink and screw on the lid! You can change things up a bit and spray paint the lid if you are looking for a certain color. Once the image is dry…you can cut an opening with an exacto blade so the straw goes right through or any other method you like. It is never a bad idea adding a coating to the tip of the image…but it is not a must. Or if you are going to constantly change your image…just use a strong tape…or you can always soak the image off for the next time. Now add a nice layer of Mod Podge to the back of your image and then apply to the lid and allow to dry. Just drill in placed on a piece of wood…done is seconds. Do not try to do it with the image on the cap…the drill will rip your paper. Cut Hole in Mason Jar Lidĭrill a hole into the lid. Now just cut your images out…the average ball jar lid is 2.5 inches.
