Hey MaryAnn,
The ones from Charles Craft are cute, but my experiance with them is the 2-3 little strands of elastic wear/stretch out way to soon. I prefer to sew my own.using 1/4 elastic.
Charles Craft is a terrific company, I do buy their aida fabric.
There are lots of x-stitch books for canning jar lids, I have several, but they are packed away till I get to Spokane. I'll make a note to myself to contact you once I get setteled in, I then I can scan & email you some x-stitch patterens if you would like.

This makes a hole pattern and you can slip a ribbon through it.
