    How did you get the twine to stay on the jars. I love this!

    barbs, from my enlarged photo of this,it looks like they wrapped and tied the twine around the ridged mouth of the jar and then tied the vertical twine to 2 or 3 points on that encircling twine so it would hang level.

    brilliant idea!
