Easy DIY Canning Lid Ideas

About Easy DIY Canning Lid Ideas Android App

Hopefully when you’re done with your canning jars, you aren’t throwing away those lids that can’t be used a second time. They are great for craft projects, and these little monsters are a perfect example. I always save my lids and bands, they are great for holiday ornaments too!

Monsters are fun for both boys and girls, and it doesn’t have to be Halloween to make them. Though Halloween does seem like an opportune time!

Just to clarify, the “lid” of a canning jar is the flat circle, pictured above. There’s also a “band” which is what actually screws on to the top of the jar.



Supplies

   Canning lids
   Bright colored paper
   Spooky googly eyes
   Colored markers
   Glue stick
   Glue dots
   Scissors

instructions
1. Trace canning lids onto colored paper and cut out the circles.
(You can use construction paper or scrapbook paper, any kind of colored paper will do. we used a neon colored paper we had on hand. Trace your lids onto the paper and cut the circles out)

2. Decorate the circles with paper, markers and googly eyes using glue dots. (Now you can decorate and create the faces. Don’t attach them to the lids yet, let’s decorate first. This is the fun part and where your kids’ creativity and imagination comes in to play. You can find monster goggly eyes at the craft store. In fact, check out all the different kinds you can buy now next time you are in that aisle. You’ll be amazed at the selection!)

3. Attach circle faces to the canning lids with more glue dots. for further information and detail tutorial, download this application now and you will have what you want.
