Pretty Jar Lids

Rainy days are good craft days when you're not too busy.

I had been meaning to do this craft for a long time. I saw it on The Sweet Spot a while back (see their guide here).

It's pretty easy.









First you make a circle about 1 centimeter larger than the base of the lid. You make little cuts into it, all around, that you will use as tabs to hold it onto the jar lid.

Then you glue the circle to the bottom using white, school glue.

Then you glue along the edge, trying not to put all the glue in the little crack, otherwise it won't help you later on.

Then you start to bend the little tabs in. As your going, I found it easier to start glazing the tabs with a paintbrush (with about 2:1 water to glue) just to make them stick to eachother. It's a little finicky because it turns into a sticky mess!

Then I glaze the top, just to make it uniform.

And there you have it! Let it dry and test them out!
