Mason Jar Lid Snowman
"If you’re feeling crafty this holiday season, this mason jar lid snowman is for you. It’s perfect for Christmas decor, as a holiday centerpiece, or even as a gift. If you don’t have piles of mason jar lids taking up space in your house, not to worry. Part rustic, part modern, it’s definitely different from any Christmas decor you can buy in a store. Try tucking electric votives inside to let the snowman glow! The inexpensive bands are available for sale separately. You may choose a three-level snowman or two-level snowman if you have fewer lids to use."

Celebrate With More Christmas Craft Ideas
If you had a blast making the Mason Jar Lid Snowman, here are a few more fun Christmas craft ideas to keep the holiday creativity flowing!
1. Mason Jar Lid Wreath: Instead of tossing those extra mason jar lids, why not turn them into a festive wreath for your front door? Simply glue the lids together in a circular shape, add some greenery, faux berries, and a bow for a stunning rustic wreath that’s sure to impress your holiday guests.
2. Mason Jar Lid Ornaments: Create beautiful ornaments for your Christmas tree using mason jar lids. You can paint the lids in festive colors, add glitter, stickers, or even small photos for a personalized touch. Attach a ribbon or twine for hanging, and you’ll have unique ornaments that will add charm to your Christmas tree.
3. Mason Jar Lid Snow Globe: Transform mason jar lids into adorable snow globes that can be displayed on your mantel or given as gifts. Glue a toy figurine or mini tree to the inside of the lid, fill the lid with faux snow or glitter, then seal with hot glue or silicone for a watertight seal. Shake up the snow globe for a magical winter scene that captures the holiday spirit.
