Happy weekend everyone! Back in December I mentioned that I would be starting a new weekend DIY series featuring ideas that I find while roaming the internet that I think are great, easy to do and helpful in some way. Either an upcycle idea, or a homemade cooking or cleaning idea, a frugal remodeling project, or a get the look for less project, you get the idea! My intent has always been to encourage you to make the most of what you have and to cultivate beauty in your home & garden through frugal means.
I think this Saturday DIY series will help you and me accomplish this while featuring some fantastic ideas from other bloggers! One request, please go to their blog to pin their photos and projects. It’s only right that they should get credit for their projects.
Make Candle Plates From Old Lids
I just think this is an adorable project and I’ll be saving my old lids to to make my own candle plates. This project comes from a Swedish Blog Pysselbolaget. She has wonderful self-explanatory photos for her tutorial and although the accompanying instructions are in Swedish, she did add some in English at the very end of her post.
Supplies:
- Jar lids
- Craft paint & paint brush
- Ribbons & lace
- hot glue gun
Directions:

Thanks for sharing these. I have seen some made before – the ideas for decorating them are endless. I really like the green one with lace.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Cold and dreary here.

Have you? I’ve never see them before. I’ll have to look around and see what other ones I can find before I make some myself.
Cold and dreary here with an occasional snowflake!!
Oh my gosh, how cute is that? I have so many lids that I save when I save jars:) Gotta try this! Have a blessed weekend dear friend, HUGS!

I know! I thought it was such a cute and simple idea. Love that it uses something we all have around anyway. Have a great weekend!
Hi Manuela,
I can always count on inspiration when I visit your wonderful blog. Your idea would be great for the candles I use in my bathrooms. Such a helpful and inexpensive idea!
Smiles and thanks so much for all your thoughtful visits and comments.

Very cute! The only question I have is why a decor item in the lid (like the flower or letter) if a candle is going to be placed in them? Wouldn’t that make the candle unbalanced?

Since the instructions are in Swedish I don’t really know. She does mention in the English instructions on the bottom that they added a sequin and to make sure it’s glued flat so the candle would be stable. I would just leave that out!
Those are so cute and simple and useful. Great idea.

So cute! From simple old lids that can turn into candle plates. Love this idea.
See now, this is right up my alley. I get such an oddball thrill out of making something from extra stuff you might just throw away or recycle.
Manuela, What a clever use of something we’d normally just toss out in the garbage! They are adorable, all painted and wrapped with lace. I think I’m gonna save me some jar lids.
