DIY Wreath Ornament (with mason jar lids!)

I use a lot of mason jars for EVERYTHING. And somehow I always end up with extra lids or even rusty lids. I always feel guilty about throwing them out so I go to thinking, "What else can I do with these?"..."Christmas is coming around the corner... what can I make?"

And that is when I came up with these cuties: DIY Wreath Ornaments (with Mason Jar Lids)!

You might have everything already around the house, but in case you don't,

• Small Mason Jar Top (I use either THESE or THESE)
• Approx. 4 yards of Twine per an ornament (depending on how thick or thin your twine is)
• Approx. 10" of decorative ribbon (1/8"-1/4" wide)
• Miniature Christmas Decorations (I found these at Hobby Lobby or get something like THIS or THIS)
• Glue Gun and Glue Gun Sticks
• Scissors

 

LET'S GET STARTED:

Hot glue the end of the twine perpendicular to the mason jar lid. Let cool.

 

Wrap twine around the lid fully covering the mason jar lid.

 

When you get to the end, squeeze a strip of hot glue on the last remaining part and hold the end of the twine on it until cooled.

 

Cut any remaining twine off.

 

Cut a piece of ribbon about 8-10"

 

Fold ribbon in half and knot the two ends together.

 

Put looped end over the top of the wrapped mason jar lid, reach through the loop and grab the knotted ends, pull tight.

 

Hot Glue ribbon in place by just adding a dot of hot glue where the ribbons meet.

 

Lastly hot glue on your mini Christmas decorations! So Cute!

 

I wrapped these little guys up in kraft bags and butcher string for my friends!
