Trim The Tree Party

I love handmade Christmas ornaments and think that they add such a special touch to the tree and other holiday decor. This week, I have invited some of my favorite blogging friends to join me in sharing one of their favorite handmade ornaments.  At the end of the week we will have a special giveaway for you that you don’t want to miss, so don’t forget to check back!  There will be three new ornaments each day, so you should have a beautifully decorated tree by the end of the week! 😉

Hi friends! I’m Tara from Suburble – a blog about life in the ‘burbs and the creativity (and chaos) that comes with hand-making a home. I’m so thrilled to be a part of Jenn’s Trim the Tree series! I love love love Christmas and any opportunity to be crafty and festive is one I’ll take.

Mason Jar Lid Tree Ornaments. These are SO cute and easy to do. Customize with whatever material you would like.

Mason Jar Lid Ornament

Today I’m bringing a super simple tutorial for a mason jar lid ornament. Trust me – if you have a glue gun and some fabric scraps, you can do this. I do use my Silhouette cutting machine in this post, but you can use stickers or stencils to get the same effect that I got from my little cut out shapes.

Materials

  • Mason jar lid and screw ring (you can buy these in packs in the canning section of any big box or hardware store)
  • Fabric scraps – I used flannel
  • Glue gun
  • Scissors
  • Twine
  • Image/Cutout/Sticker to place in the center of the ornament

Mason jar lid ornaments! So cute and only a few supplies needed!

I bought a bunch of yardage of this flannel shirt fabric, and I have to say that I am in LOVE with it. I’ve already used it for reusable Christmas bags, and now I’m trying to find even more excuses to get it into our decor. Really, I used about 15″ x 4″ of fabric for this project – or even less if you’re a more precise cutter.

How To

  • I started by wrapping the lid insert (NOT the screw ring) with the fabric and glueing it down in the center. Watch your fingers – this is a burn-y part of the craft.

  • Around the screw ring, I attached the twine. This is to hang the ornament on the tree.

  • I ran a thin line of hot glue along the inside of the screw band and then pressed the covered lid into it. I love hot glue guns for their immediate results. I don’t have to wait for anything to set, I can keep on crafting. Of course, I occasionally scorch myself, so that’s the downfall of instant gratification and glue guns.

 

  • I cut out these shapes from cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo. I used hot glue VERY sparingly to get it onto the flannel. Any Christmas sticker or embellishment could work in its place.

And within minutes, I was done! The mason jar lid ornaments were done – and they looked fantastic! I loved how the screw band gave them a “finished” look. All raggedy edges and glue clumps were hidden behind that fabulous silver band.

If you’re going for a rustic Christmas theme this year, or perhaps you want to add ornaments to your gift wrap, consider making these darling little mason jar lid ornaments! It was less than 20 minutes, start to finish, to make these three. I’m sure that once you’re on a roll, you could zoom through the entire box of 12 lids and screw bands.

Come and see what we’re up to at Suburble! We’re all about making a mess {and making things pretty!}.

    Wouldn’t it be good to put a backing on these since ornaments twist and turn when hung?

      Yes, I would add a backing if you were going to see the back view at all. You could always use another lid insert or just cut out a circle from cardstock to glue overtop. 🙂

        I love this idea and going to make them!

        I will be spraying painting an extra cap (maybe chalkboard paint) and then write the current year on it – for remembrance gifts!

        Thank you sharing your wonderful crafts!

      It just depends on the size of your mason jar lid. Once you have that, just get a rough idea of how much space you want to fill and go from there. Theses ones are probably around 2 inches. 😉
