I love an easy craft project. I love it even more if it means I end up with something beautiful for my home. These tick both of those boxes. They are simple to make and pretty too. And I love that as my decor changes, I can make new ones that will coordinate.

How to Make Mason Jar Lid Coasters

Here are the step-by-step instructions for crafting your own using fabric and mason jar lids:

STEP 1: Wipe off your mason jar rings to be sure they are clear of dust, etc. Lay them on some parchment paper and using a brush, paint a thin, even layer of paint and allow to dry to completely (I suggest at least 30 minutes. Be sure to paint them inside and out. I suggest giving each one two coats.

STEP 2: Once your paint is completely dry, using a clean brush, completely cover each mason jar ring with a thin, even layer of the Mod Podge and allow to dry to completely (I suggest at least 30 minutes). Again, be sure to coat them inside and out. Two coats is better than one!

STEP 3: While your paint & Mod Podge is drying on your rings, take one of your mason jar lids and trace it around the cork and cut. 

STEP 4: Repeat the step above but with each of your fabrics, you are going to cut 1 circle of each of your fabrics. If you have a print like I do with the bees, make sure you are mindful of where you place the lid when you are tracing it.

STEP 6: Place a circle of fabric on top of one of your lids and using a clean brush, completely cover the mason jar lid with the Mod Podge and allow to dry to completely (I suggest at least 15-30 minutes).  I suggest giving each one two coats. Repeat with the other lids.

With Insul-Brite for a Double-Sided Coffee Coaster:

If you are making a double-sided coaster, make these adjustments during Step 4 above: trace and cut 2 circles of each of your fabrics and you will trace and cut 3 circles of the Insul-Brite. Then, continue through and complete Step 6.

Now, using the same technique as in Step 6, attach your 2nd piece of fabric on top of the Insul-Brite and using a clean brush, completely cover the mason jar lid with a thin, even layer of the Mod Podge and allow to dry to completely (I suggest at least 15-30 minutes).  I suggest giving each one two coats. Repeat with the other lids.
