Mason lid Christmas ornament tree wreath
Upon approaching your neighbour’s front door this season, you may expect to see a beautiful, festive Christmas wreath greeting you.
But then there’s my house….
You know me well enough to expect a little quirk, yes? Awesome! Let’s proceed with this mason lid ornament tree wreath for Christmas decor, perfect for front door decorating!
This little brainstorm derived out of desiring some unique kind of Christmas wreath for my front door that didn’t look like all the rest.
The end result of this Mason lid Christmas ornament tree wreath is a little bit industrial, a little bit salvaged junk, and of course, is as easy as can be to make!

Mason lid Christmas ornament tree wreath
Supplies you’ll need:
.
Mason jar lid rims (the thicker vintage ones work best)
Silver and gold Christmas ornaments
How-to:
.
1. Tie mason jar lid rim together with twine in the shape of a Christmas tree. Trim ties as desired.
2. While laying flat, hot glue each ornament stem to a mason jar lid rim. Allow to cool.
HERE is a collection of nonbreakable gold and silver ornaments that would work great… should an ornament fall off!
3. Continue until your pool cue shape (haha – Christmas tree) is done!
I left the twine long because I liked the scrappy look.
You could also try Christmas ribbon instead if you’d like to glam it up!
Adding an evergreen swag
.
4. Wire together some pinecones using florists wire.
Check out these florist wire kits HERE… nice to get it all at once!
5. Wire together some real evergreen branches then twist with the pine cones. Wire it around the twine at the top of the wreath.
6. Hang the wreath up with a door hook and you’re done!
Tip: For added stability, hot glue a paint stirring stick to the back so the wreath doesn’t buckle forward. Mine did a little.
The finished wreath!
.
And the end result is one super industrial, quirky and unique Christmas tree wreath guaranteed… will look like no other down your entire street!
Unless of course, they caught on and started making these too…
And if that’s the case, Merry Industrial Christmas to all! And you’ve got good taste… 😉

I love how original it is and sounds simple. Very cute! You gave me an idea how to upcycle a pool rack!
big big 🙂
Only you can make this looks so amazing and cool that I immediately want to make one. Good stuff.
Just when I think there’s nothing new or original to be done with a mason jar lid – there you go Donna and prove me wrong! This is great! Love it!
That is just too cute! And how easy to make. Perfect for those rusty rings you can use for canning any more. Here’s a thought. Putting black and white pictures in them and doing a family tree. OK off to make mine! Thanks for the inspiration!
So cute! I have a couple full lids lying around that are just waiting for a fun project!
Donna…You ROCK! That is the cutest craft.
Love it, Donna. Finally a different lid wreath. It is really cute,
thank you..
Too cute! I love it!
Ok, that has to seriously be the best junk Christmas tree yet! I love it! And I’m going to pin it and make one. I can just see this in my kitchen! Thank you!!
PS
I love your blog. I love your story…so inspiring!
Very cool idea, Donna! I love it!!!
Thank you for this great one! I will enjoy making these and placing them on my friends doors!
Merry Christmas!
Oh Christmas Tree! This is such an awesome idea!
…and then there’s your door. The most awesome wreath on the block I bet! You come up with the greatest ideas Donna.
Simply A M A Z I N G!!!! Your creativity never ends! Toni
I love your sense of humor!
I love this wreath! What a great idea for a simple quick project!
when you gave the sneak peek i guessed tire rims how far off i was lmao, this is awesomeness again love it xx
I have a whole bag of rusty, crusty lid rings who are just waiting to be something cool! I was going to just string them onto a round (like you did a few years ago) for my husband’s shop door, but I am SO making a couple of these instead. I do still like the other idea, though. I’m going to put one on my classroom door at school! Thanks ever so much!
Thanks for sharing….this is so much Shabby Fun ! I always love the oddity of things.
D. You are killing me here. This is fabulous.
I have to tell you. You sparked a little creative fire in me the past few days. I actually went to my favorite antique shop and found this great wooden wheel / pulley. I even dug out some of my old wood treasures to incorporate back into my space. It’s looking fabulous!!
I can’t thank you enough for relighting my “junk” lovin’ heart!

I do not have an urge to play pool, I have an urge to grab some ornaments and rings and make one of these for my door. I love it.
Donna I love this tree wreath of yours all the stuff out there this year all the pretty wreaths to make out of this greenery or that and I find yours to be the one I want to make for myself tomorrow I love this can you imagine with some red gingham bows on it a kitchen cupboard? it so cute thanks for sharing can’t wait to try one.Susie
AWESOME!! Don’t you ever think of holding back that “quirk” 🙂 Love it! Laurel
AMAZING! I absolutely love this wreath. Much prettier than store-bought!
thanks for sharing. im putting this on my list for next year to make for my back door off kitchen. I enjoy garage sales thrift stores and flea markets so the suplies will go on my looking for list
Add two more at the bottom for a tree trunk and it will look less like a pool triangle!
Wonderful idea!
I love, love this! One question…are these canning rings thicker than regular canning rings? Maybe they just appear that way. Thank you for this wonderful idea!
Hi Betty! Yes, the vintage styled rims are indeed about twice the thickness as the ones being sold today. Watch for them in thrift or antique stores!
