Dollar Tree Mason Jar Lid Winter DIY Coaster Instructions
DIY mason jar lids coasters are a great craft for kids!
What you’ll need:
3 wide mouth jar lids
Hot Glue Gun
Scissors
2 Dollar Tree Winter Hats
*optional – cork circles if you’d like more support in the center of the coaster.
What you’ll do:
Start by cutting up the winter hats. There are usually a few layers so make sure to uses sharp scissors and take your time cutting. You can cut along lines or patterns in the hat to help section the fabric out. Or cut more of a square to then shape down to a circle.
Cut out circles. Put the outer part of the mason jar lid on top of the square you cut from the winter hat and then trim around to make the circle shape. (Or you can create an even more perfect circle pattern on parchment paper when you trace mason jar lid with a pencil.) When cutting the fabric into a circle, make sure not to cut too much as then it won’t fill the inside of the shiny side of the lid.
Repeat. Cut out more circles of fabric from recycled winter hats in the color of your choice.
Hot glue mason jar lids. Add a thin line of hot glue to each inside of the mason jar lid and then add the center metal piece.
Finish coaster. Next add some hot glue to the metal inner piece and place the winter hat circle cut out on top pressing firmly and pushing the material to fit on the inside so you don’t have any gaps!
Voila! Your upcycled Mason jar lid coasters are ready to grace your tables both inside and out on the patio table. It’s that easy to add a pop of color to your own home decor! And the best part? They’re eco-friendly, budget-friendly, and undeniably charming.
