Instructions

Snowflake Ornament

  • Just use hot glue to secure the lid upside down inside the band. If you can't find the polka dot mason jar lids, add a piece of scrap book paper inside as well.
  • Then add the snowflake with some additional hot glue. I used ribbon to finish this one off. On these, I just used hot glue to secure the ribbon to the back of the ornament.

Christmas Character Ornaments

  • Start by tracing your mason jar lid on the back of the glitter sheet.
  • Cut out your circles. The glitter sheets are self-adhesive so you can just stick those right to the bottom of the mason jar lid.
  • Use hot glue to add the lid to the band and then secure the character pin to the center with additional hot glue. In this version, I wrapped the ribbon all the way around and made a loop at the top. This is the second way to add a hanger to your mason jar lid ornaments.

Funny Saying Ornament

  • Just use hot glue to secure the band and lid together. Then add a white foam sheet to the inside similar to the ornament above this one. Secure the cling with hot glue in each of the four corners (just a small amount will work). I wrapped the band with ribbon on this one as well.

Ornament from a Mason Jar Lid

  • Find some ornaments that are small enough to fit inside the lid that you love and also grab some of those foam glitter sheets.
  • Again cut the foam sheet to fit inside the lid. Use the adhesive on the sheet to attach. Secure the lid together with hot glue. I used a piece of twine to tie a small bow and loop on each ornament.
  • Add those to the inside of your ornaments with hot glue. Then add the ribbon to hang by either method mentioned above.

Scandinavian Themed Christmas Ornament

  • Trace the lid onto your towel with a pencil then cut out slightly larger. Also, cut two pieces of white foam to the size of the mason jar lid.
  • Smooth out the fabric over the adhesive side of your foam circle.
  • Clip the fabric every inch or two.  Start folding over and securing with hot glue on the back.  Once completed, use hot glue to add this to your mason jar lid.  Secure the lid to the band and add a ribbon for hanging.
