Many homesteaders are actively involved in canning a lot of natural produce for long term storage. Now you can re-purpose your canning lids for these cute diy mason jar plant labels.

I have always hated throwing away my lids after opening the canned jars, so when I ran into this simple diy project I was giddy with excitement. However, instead of printing out the labels, I think I will just use a permanant marker.

Here’s What You Will Need:

• small mouth mason jar lids
• mod podge
• foam brush
• scissors or craft puncher
• hole puncher
• labels print outs
• craft paper
• floral pick or wire
• popsicle sticks or a twig
• permanant marker (optional)
• acrylic sealer (optional)

You can print and cut out already designed plant labels for a wide selection of plants and herbs online. These labels are what you attach to your lids using Mod Podge. This is applied both below and above each label. A hole needs to be punched in the middle top section of each lid.

Make sure when you attach your popsicle sticks or a twig that it is securely attached, so the lid does not come loose. I think I am going to try some chopsticks on the back of the lids, for some unknown reason I have a whole box of those in one of my cupboards. lol
