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….
