Jar lids come in all shapes, sizes. They are found on jars from spaghetti sauce, pimentos, pickles, salsa etc. Since they are so perfectly round, I thought they would be great for ornaments and crafts; so I started keeping them instead of throwing them away. I even have my students bringing them in for a seasonal craft.
It started when I decided to piggy back on a magazine idea for "repurposing" Christmas Card photos to give as mementos back to the families. But the possibilities are really endless; once I started working with them, new ideas keep coming and I haven't preserved any Christmas Card photos yet.
And I guess great minds think alike because I also saw them used on the ornament girl blog, if you google it, ornament jar lids, you will get hers and a ton more! I just did it! See no idea is really new!!
DISCLAIMER: I generally like to come up with my own crafts and use my own brain and devices. I prefer not to copy and don't use Pinterest to get ideas, what's fun about that? I like to think of them myself! If I don't, I will share the magazine or resource I saw them in, ok?! So whatever came up on google I just learned right now and got out right away! As I said, there is nothing new under the sun, well actually Solomon said that in Ecclesiastes....

This is my first attempt. It is extremely simple, great for kids to do:
cardstock, stickers, ribbon and Modge Podge.
My other jar lids ideas coming very soon, and a guest crafter post too!
P.S. If you know me, and live near me : ) save a me a lid or two, ok?
We will be using them for a kids church craft in December.
