Recycled jar lids {diy Christmas ornaments}
While my Mom and sis were here I thought it would be fun if we did a craft together.
recycled crafts are all the rage I see these days.
So why not make our own recycled jar lid ornaments.
I also saw these cutie pies on BHG
Mom was all for it…
sissie,
not so much. Not that she does not like to recycle…she just is not a big fan of these sorts of crafts.
I insisted we do a recycled Christmas craft together.
she did it with a smile on her face none the less.
So what did I do…
cleaned out my fridge first of course.
Lots of moldy salsa and
one pickle always left in the jar.
why is that?
Sorry for the dark pictures…we did this in the evening.
So first, I spray painted the lids.
then we took our scrap paper
and cut the circle to size.
We then mod podged the paper inside the lid.
This is the one my Mom did…
Our tree this year is mostly home made items….and vintage post cards.
I sure hope I get to show you the tree soon.
Time is flying and I still have so much more to do.
Stilling loving my stenciled ceiling medallion.
Thanks for stopping by and seeing my simple, diy recycled jar lid project.
I certainly have no plans on making these for a living, but they were fun to do with the fam…

December 19 at 9:25 amHi Debbie Dear! Oh, this is such a cute craft and it’s nice to see your mommy and sister playing along.
I’ve been so troubled by the recent tragedy, I’ve had my blog quiet. But it’s time to get back to doing.
You’re the bestest and I love your little picture with your cute hair!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉

December 19 at 11:18 amThose are darling! I’ve been soooo non-crafty lately, I think after moving here from So Cal, being at my dad’s for 5 months and then moving again, I need to recoup! I always know where to come for inspiration though:)

December 20 at 9:10 amThis is right up my alley. I love to make something out of what we would discard or recycle, I have a LOT of moldy old stuff in the refrigerator on a regular basis, and best of all it involves decoupage.
Win… Win… Win.
Tell your mom and the other more reluctant elf that they get two thumb up!

December 20 at 9:30 amI should have kept the baby food jar lids!! I knew there was a reason I was keeping it. Unfortunately I just got rid of those las week. Oh well, I can start a new collection for next year 🙂
