Mason Jar Lid Snowman Ornament

"Making homemade ornaments is fun and a great way to recycle items you can no longer use. These mason jar lid snowman ornaments are a great way to use old Christmas cards too! Everyone loves cute snowmen. These ornaments are fun to make and make great gifts. They can be customized to your favorite style, they don’t have to have the rustic look we chose. I made these mason jar lid snowman ornaments in December 2010, and I still hang them on my tree every year."
