Just thought I'd show you what the painted version of the glued-together lid looks.
The whole project took just minutes to glue and spray paint. But I think the end result is a canister that looks respectable sitting on the countertop. I may still add a decorative knob on top, or may not. I'll see how I feel when I do a couple more jars to complement this one. I have an area of the counter dedicated to making hot beverages -- a little coffee and tea station.
Just thought I'd share the finished painted look.
On Amazon, a single, one-piece black mason jar lid sells for about $1.33 (in a pack of 6 for over $8).
I was able to make my own version for free, using what I had on hand (used lid and ring, and spray paint from another project many years ago). I'll be using this idea for lids for some mason jars candles that I am making as gifts.
