I love these pin keeps...I've been wanting to figure out what to do with a whole bag of zinc lids that MIL brought me...I hate covering up the milkglass inserts, but I could sell these in my shop. Thanks for posting the instructions..!

Thanks for the tutorial...may I ask a price you think as fair for one?

They are really pretty and I have lots of old calico IF I could find some tops...actually, I own a few for my Canister Jars but have never found any for sale.
