My sister-in-law's birthday is next week and I wanted to make her something unique ... just for her.  I've been playing around with different ideas to re-use "used" canning lids.  So, here's what I came up with:

I used one of the wide-mouth mason jar lids and decoupaged it with tissue paper.  Then, I hot-glued a 3" mirror on one side.  At first I tried to use watered-down glue and material, but it dried so hard and crisp that the dried material would have messed up the felt on the cover.

I measured out how large the mirror would be and cut out a piece of felt and embroidered a design on the front and then used a blanket stitch to bind it together.

I'm pretty excited by my first attempt at this.  I'd love to make more and sell them.  So, if anyone's interested, let me know and I can make one for you (or your family members and friends).  Now that I've figured out what works it shouldn't take me too long to put others together.  I think $7.99 per mirror & case would be a very reasonable price for Christmas gifts.  I've got many other ideas on embroidery designs, etc.  I take Paypal.

I just wanted to share how cute it turned out.
