I love shopping in my parent’s garage. It’s absolutely amazing how much stuff they have and I always seem to leave with something I “need”. My last trip resulted in a enamelware canning pot, which is actually something I did, but as an added bonus, inside of the pot was a stash of glass canning jars and a few older lids. As soon as I saw the lids I knew they would make the perfect base to some sort of coaster.
I started by tracing the lids onto the pieces in this Cork Coaster Set
Then, I cut out the circles and made sure they fit inside the lids.
I taped off some geometric patterns with FrogTape
I brushed on three different colors of acrylic paint, brushing over the edge of the tape into the center. This also helps to prevent paint from getting under the tape.
I used Semi Gloss Polycrylic
A couple dabs of E6000® Craft Adhesive
It was fun to try to come up with different designs. This isn’t something that I’m really good at, but I think I actually like how they turned out!
I just love the look of the aged metal on the sides.
Vintage meets modern – I’m loving the mix.
Our coffee cups just barely fit on the ring. Thankfully our glasses have smaller bases and fit perfectly, allowing a little of the pattern to show.
Like this idea? I’d love for you to pin it!

These coasters came out so cute, Jenny. I loved how you “shopped” your parents’ garage for the old mason jar lids. Loving the geometric lines :).
I love these!! I love that you added the old mason jar lids too. SO unique!
These are adorable! So easy and fun! Pinning 🙂
Thanks, April! It was a fun one!
These are sooooo cute! I want to make these but worry m kids will use them as stacking toys or flying toys.
You’re totally right! Yesterday, they were lined up, one on each stair, in our living room. I’m not sure what game was being played with them, but I know I didn’t leave them there. 😉
Oh, these are so awesome and they look like a fun and easy project! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, they were super easy! Thanks, Christina!
These are so cool! I love the vintage look combined with the geometric colors! Nice job! 🙂 Lisa
Thanks, Lisa!!
These are a beautiful mix of old and new! I love the “now” colors mixed with the textures of the cork and old lid. Great project (and tutorial), Jenny!
Thank you for sharing this week at Brag About It link party on VMG206 (Mondays at Midnight). I plan to feature you next week!

Oh, thanks so much Megin. I think that was my favorite part of the project – the contrast between the metal and the painted cork.
These are adorable!! I love coasters, you can never have too many!
Yes, you’re right (especially since we seem to lose them around here…)
How cute I love the pattern and the different colors for your coasters. Thanks for Sharon
Thanks, Linda! I’m glad you like them. 🙂
I love how these turned out! Pinned it and adding another use for my Mason jars to my growing list. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing.
