DIY Home Decor Wall Art Repurposed Ball Jar Lids


Here's an easy way to create unique home decor + art from ball jar lids. 
They look really cool if you make 4 + of them and collage them on your wall.



What You Will Need:
Ball or Mason Jar Lid
Glue (White glue or Hot Glue)
Paper (I used watercolor paper because it is thick)
Scissors
Pen
Something to decorate it with: Paint, Pens, and/or Magazines. I used Mod Podge and Magazines to decorate mine, but you could paint, color, or draw a picture on it!



 Start by laying your lid on the piece of paper and tracing a circle around it:


Cut out the circle:


Fit your circle into the lid.
You may have to cut more off the edges to make it fit:


Take the paper out and decorate it!!

I used Mod Podge and magazines scraps to make mine:


Glue around the inside of the lid:


Push your decorated circle into the lid.
Press the circle into the glue.


Optional:
Add glue to the backside of the paper if you want to glue the other piece of the lid to the back
You don't have to do this! Just an option.


Push down to secure the lid to the paper:


YOU'RE FINISHED!!!



These hang on the walls easily.
Make a bunch of them to create a cool wall collage!
Sell them at your local farmer's market or in your Etsy store!

Happy Crafting!!
