Decoupaged Lids

  • Completed Project: Decoupaged Lids Picture #1

Decoupaged Lids Tutorial!

Recently I made a project that used recycled (actually saved-from-the-recycling) plastic jugs. I didn't need the caps at the time but I kept them because I love circles and I thought I'd figure out something to do with them--and I did. I actually figured out three things to do with them: a magnet, a necklace or a pair of earrings! So grab some caps and choose whether you want to wear them or display them on your fridge!
