30+ Simple and Festive Mason Jar lid Ornaments for Christmas Decoration in 20 Minutes

Making your own Christmas ornaments is a fantastic way to save some money, create memories and turn your tree into something truly special and unique.

That is why some families take making ornaments as one of their Christmas traditions, as so some schools.

There are many ways to craft a Christmas ornament. You can knit them, mold them from clay or simply take a pre made empty ornament and personalize it.

A good alternative which is quite easy and quick to accomplish is to turn old mason jars into ornaments, as they are just as customizable as empty glass baubles. And if you’re worried about having children handling the glass, you can even forego the jars themselves and use the lids instead.

So if you have a nice collection of empty Mason Jars or mismatched lids lying about and want to make your next Christmas tree truly special for you and your family, this is your chance.

Here are some Simple and Festive Mason Jar lid Ornaments for Christmas Decoration in 20 Minutes.
