Trace the patterns and cut them out. From the large pieces of felt cut three 9 inch circles. Cut your trim pieces from the scrap felt for leaves and stems as desired. From the cording cut one 3 inch piece and one 1 inch piece. Measure the circumference of the jars to be covered; cut the elastic to fit. Arrange the felt pieces in the centers of the circles, overlapping when necessary. Glue in place and allow to dry. Glue on the beads. Stitch the rick rack with matching thread to the right sides of the circles along the edges. Stitch the edges of bias tape to the wrong side of the circles, 1 inch from the edge, leaving an opening for elastic. Thread elastic through bias tape. Stitch ends together. Put fiberfill inside cover and place on jar lids.
