Washi Tape Mason Jar Lid Ornament

Sharing is caring!

My kids love to use tape. Actually, I can't think of a child I know that doesn't like to use a tape dispenser. Using tape is such a great way to work on fine motor skills that when I saw some sparkly, festive tape dispensers at the Dollar Tree, I quickly stuck them in my cart for some preschool fine motor fun. We paired our washi tape with a recycled mason jar lid and made an easy homemade mason jar lid ornament for preschoolers. If you're on the hunt for some easy kid-made ornaments for your classroom, daycare, homeschool co-op, or Sunday School class, this Washi Tape Mason Jar Lid Ornament would be perfect!

This Kid-Made Washi Tape Mason Jar Lid Ornament is adorable and so simple to make for Christmas. This homemade ornament is perfect for working on fine motor skills. The best part is I already have all the mason jar lids and washi tape for this kids Christmas ornament craft.

My youngest was excited to use the sparkly tape to make this Washi Tape Mason Jar Lid Ornament. Watching Asher get tangled up in the sticky tape made me think of the cover of the children's book Merry Christmas Mom and Dad by Mercer Mayer. The main character, Little Critter, gets in all kinds of silly situations while preparing for Christmas--stuck in the tape while wrapping presents, tangled up in the twinkle lights, and many more hilarious things that made my kids laugh out loud. Asher looked a little bit like Little Critter in the book cover below by the end of this craft, but he loved every second of it!

Make a Washi Tape Mason Jar Lid Ornament

Have your child place strips of the sparkly washi tape across the mason jar lid. This Kid-Made Washi Tape Mason Jar Lid Ornament is adorable and so simple to make for Christmas.

There is no right or wrong way here. I encouraged my four year old to let the tape hang off the edges and then we could curl the excess around the back of the mason jar lid. He decided not to wait until the end and did this for each piece. Whatever works, right?

When the lid is covered with sparkly tape, use a hole punch and a little oomph to punch a hole in the canning jar lid. Use some ribbon or baker's twine to thread through the hole and make a loop.
