9 STEPS FROM CANDLE LID TO COASTER

Do you love jar candles?
Do you wonder how you can repurpose those wood lids? (This is the type of
question that haunts me when I recycle!)
I don’t know about you, but I burn candles every day. EVERY DAY! Call it a
guilty pleasure but I just feel more grounded with a candle’s fresh, clean scen
t and a friendly flame to keep me company.
TRENDING VIDEOS
I have repurposed many jar candles as containers. They are great for holding
cotton balls, craft supplies, even scrabble tiles. But what about the lids?
As I burn a candle, I find myself placing my coffee cup on top of the candle lid
as I do computer work. Maybe I’m on to something…
Lightbulb moment! I’m using the lid as a coaster, so I might as well make it
official and decorate it.
Here’s how to make decorative coasters…and save those lids from the landfill.
1. Remove the plastic seal ring from the candle. Easy peasy…it just slides off.
2. Choose a decorative paper for the top of your coaster. Wrapping paper,
wallpaper, stationery paper, or any type of paper will work. I’m kind of into
pink these days and REALLY into marble effects.
3. Now that you have your paper chosen, trace the top of the lid on to the back
side of the paper. Cut out the paper circles.
4. Next, press the circles flat under a heavy book. You could skip this step but
attaching the circles to the lids will be much easier if they do not curl. I
think Michelangelo and friends can handle this job!
5. Spray paint the top and bottom of the lid with your choice of color. I chose
a subtle Krylon brushed nickel metallic that has just a hint of sheen. Several
light coats are better than one heavy coat. Be sure to spray the sides of the
lid. Let dry thoroughly.
6. Brush a thin coat of Mod Podge Hard Coat waterbased sealer on the top of the
lid and on the backside of a paper circle.
7. Place the paper circle on top of the lid. Use a Mod Podge squeegee to squeeze
out any bubbles and secure the glue.
8. Brush a light coat of Mod Podge over the top of the paper on the lid. Make
sure to brush over the edge of the paper as it seals to the edge of the lid. Let
dry or spray the lid with Mod Podge Sealer.
9. This step is the easiest and the most fun. Let dry overnight and wake up to a
new coaster for your morning coffee!
Now that you have the hang of it, you can custom-create coasters for every room
in your home. So stack those upcycled coasters next to a beautifully lit candle
and enjoy your save-the-planet-one-lid-at-a-time handiwork!
Cheers! ~Missy
