I know it’s super early for holiday decor (especially for me! You all know I’m usually a slacker.), but I’m getting a little bit of a head start since I’m teaming up with Plaid for a fun Facebook Live event.

How to Make Mason Jar Lid Ornaments
Step 1
Remove the disk part of the mason jar lid as that is the portion we will be using. Place your gift wrap on top of your mason jar lid and trace it, making sure to trace the inner portion of the lid, not the lip around the edge.
Step 2
Cut out your circle using the scissors in the Mod Podge 7 piece tool kit.
Step 3
Using the brush from the tool kit, apply Mod Podge to the surface of the lid and the back side of your gift wrap.
Step 4
Press your gift wrap onto the lid, smoothing from the center outward using the squeegee from the tool kit to remove any bubbles. Set aside and allow to dry while you repeat these steps on your other lids.
Step 5
After about 15-20 minutes, apply Mod Podge to the entire surface of your gift-wrap covered lid. Allow to dry.
Step 6
After your ornament has dried, hammer a nail through a point along the top edge, creating a small hole.
Step 7
Thread your string through the hole and tie a knot. Now you have your very own mason jar lid ornament!
These are super simple, and so easy to customize. You can use any patterned paper that you choose, whether it be gift wrap, scrapbook paper, or even sheet music. There are so many possibilities. You can also use any type of string or twine that you choose.
Be sure to head over to the Plaid Facebook page where I’ll be streaming live today, Friday, November 3, at 4pm EST showing you how to make these ornaments. You can watch the replay if you can’t make it for the live stream. Here’s the entire lineup:

Fun project.
I don’t can any more and have lots of lids.
Great way to use them – even for other holidays
or events.
thanks for sharing.

I have many mason jars lying in my storage, I never knew we could make such a fantastic art with lids. I want to use Christmas theme paper inside the lid for decor. I have few papers already but they are thin, how to glue them inside, can you please suggest something. You are using gift wrap, it seems to have some thickness, I want to use glittered paper in red color. Thanks
Erin Spain says
You could use glitter card stock! That would be beautiful. The Mod Podge works great to adhere it to the lid.

Love this simple and inexpensive mason jar lid art. I used washi tape on the lids and decorate them on wooden board with wooden puzzle letters. My sister loves wall art and we used checkered pattern on the lids to match black and white accent we have on our living room wall. I want to upload a picture here but there is no option to do it.
Thank you for sharing great idea, you are really creative.
