You Will Need (7 things)

  • Paint Brush
  • Decopage Glue/ Mod Podge Acrylic Sealer
  • Math Compass
  • Stanley Knife
  • Scissors
  • Scrapbook Paper
  • Jar(s) with lid

Steps (9 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    Measure the radius of your lid with your compass, if the lid as a lip measure that too, and then add about 2,5 cm.

  2. 2

    Then make your circle, on the back of your scrapbook paper.

  3. 3

    With your Stanley knife, cut the circle out.

  4. 4

    Find your compass again and make a circle on your circle which is the same size as the lid.

  5. 5

    Cut slits with about 0,5 cm between from the outside and into the guideline you just made.

  6. 6

    Now it’s time to find your decoupage glue and brush. Give the circle generously with glue and push the lid firmly down on it.

  7. 7

    Brush small pieces of decoupage glue on both the jar lip and the slits and then press you slits one at the time on to the lip so they overlap.

  8. 8

    Finally give a generously amount of decoupage glue on the lids whole surface, and let it dry.

  9. 9

    Tip: You can also glue something to the jar that indicates what it’s used for.
