Easy DIY Mason Jar Lid Coaster

Turn mason jar lids into farmhouse-style coasters with this easy craft tutorial.

Mason jar lids are relatively inexpensive. Or you might have some used lids that won’t work for food preservation but can be repurposed for this craft.

Either way, it is really easy to make stylish coasters using the lids and rings and thin cork squares.

A serving try holds a small plant, a glass bowl of lemon wedges, a mason jar filled with iced sweet tea and a red striped straw sitting in a mason jar cupholder; a mason jar cupholder is propped up showing the farmhouse decal on the cork surface.

We think these DIY mason jar lid coasters are great for sipping tea or cocktails on the front porch. Or make several of them to use for a picnic or outdoor party.

While we used country stickers, you can customize this project with whatever you like. These are some great ideas:

Floral stickers
Holiday decals
Monogram initials
Words
Quote stickers

DIY Mason Jar Lid Coasters

Supplies

3 wide-mouth mason jar rings and lids (Amazon or Walmart)
Paper crafting stickers or decals (I bought mine at Hobby Lobby)
Craft foam brushes
Mod Podge
Cork Squares
Pencil
Scissors
Hot glue gun

Instructions

Step One

Take one of your mason jar lids and using a pen or pencil, trace around it onto the cork and cut out.

Three cork squares, one mason jar lid on top of a square, a blue pen laying next to it.

Repeat for each coaster you plan to make.

Two square corks with a circle drawn on one; the other a circle already cut out with the circle and pink scissors laying on top.

Step Two

Lay your cork circles on a flat surface. Choose a decal or sticker and center it on the cork circle. Press and hold down for a few seconds.

Step Three

Using a clean foam brush, completely cover each cork circle with a thin, even layer of Mod Podge. Allow to dry completely, which takes about one hour.

Be sure to coat both sides of the cork with Mod Podge.

Step Four

Make sure your Mod Podge is completely dry on both sides.

Then use your hot glue gun to attach one cork circle, with the sticker side up, onto the inside of each of the mason jar lids. (Glue to the white side with the rubber seal, leaving the metal side exposed underneath.
