    Step 1

    Gather supplies. Wash and dry lids. Juice can lids work well as there are no sharp edges and the images are nicely framed by the edge of the lid.

    Step 2

    Cut images to fit the recessed portion of the lid. You may wish to make a template to ease the process. Affix the image using the decoupage medium. Using a paint brush, apply two coats on top of the image with the decoupage medium, allowing it to dry between coats.

  • Step 3

    Cut and knot the twine at the desired length. Using a hot glue gun, glue twine on the back of the ornament.

    If desired, a permanent marker can be used to colour the visible portions of the lid. Do this prior to affixing the image.
