Bottle and Jar Lid Ornaments
Here’s a cute little ornament which is eash for kids or adults to make. Take a lid from any size soda bottle and glue a scrap of Christmas fabric or a picture from a magazine. Choose a picture which has a glossy finish. After gluing the picture on the flat side of the soda lid, use a small piece of elastic thread to make a hanger. Glue the hanger on the top of the lid. Now, use a piece of wide velvet ribbon to wrap around the outer side of the lid, starting right beside the hanger and ending up at the other side of the hanger. Cut a small slit at the end of the ribbon and wrap one side around the back of the hanger, one side around the front of the hanger, covering up the glue where the hanger is attached. Now, spread glue in the concave part of the lid, then sprinkle with glitter. Use glitter glue to go around the flat part of the lid where the picture is. Encircle the picture with the glitter glue. Tie a small bow and glue it at the top of the ornament where the hanger is.
With a coffee lid, you can also make some great ornaments. Remove the cardboard piece from the concave part of the lid. Cut a picture of your child, your pet or a Christmas picture into a circle, the size of the flat part of the lid. Glue it onto the top of the lid. Use a small piece of cord or a piece of elastic thread for a hanger. Glue the hanger on top of the lid edge. Glue tiny pom-poms around the lid, or you can use velvet ribbon to wrap the lid. If you’re using velvet ribbon, make a slit at the end to go around the hanger. Spread glue into the concave part of the lid and sprinkle glitter. Use glitter glue to encircle the picture. Let dry completely. Now tie a tiny bow and glue it in front of the hanger.
