How to Make Canning Jar Lid Wreaths
Instructions:
-
Drill two holes close together on the side of the canning jar lid. You will use these holes for the hanger made from the wire. The same wire will also be used to attach the meaningful word.
-
Drill two more holes close together at about 5 o'clock from the hanger holes, but this time on the top of the lid. These holes will be used to attach the bow you make from the mesh bag, greenery, and small ornament.
