A Guide to DIY Coasters

Coasters are a keen home décor project for yourself or an excellent option for a homemade wedding ceremony present, housewarming souvenir, or birthday present. Many of these tutorials are very inexpensive and almost exclusively require materials that you can become at arts and crafts stores and hardware stores. Only a few require sewing or other arts and crafts techniques that are more than advanced than basic cutting, folding, and gluing. Happy crafting!

Tile Photo Coasters

I dearest the uneven tiles that Lindsay chose for the tutorial, but you tin can use whatsoever type that y'all similar. The only hard role will exist picking the photos that you want to use.

Tile Initial Coasters

Another cracking variation that I found for the tile coaster thought is tile initial coasters. The author presents this every bit a great hostess gift idea. It would also make a wonderful wedding souvenir. She uses paper napkins for her initials. If you exercise this, make sure that your napkins stay as wrinkle complimentary equally possible before y'all glue them. Alternatively, you tin can design or download and print an initial logo on cardstock.

Tile Lace Coasters

The terminal tile coaster idea that I found is for tile lace coasters. Instead of using patterned paper or photos every bit many of the other tile coasters do, this tutorial involves lace and spray paint. The possibilities for lace patterns are endless, and you tin customize them any way y'all want with different spray paint colors. If you lot choose to remove the lace earlier the spray paint dries, make sure to practise so carefully so that the pigment doesn't smear.

Questions & Answers

Question: I'thousand thinking of making my own coasters using a picture (that I can print out on to ordinary paper) and a square cork board. Will the newspaper stick to the cork? I will then embrace the cork with clear contact paper.

Respond: Unless you're using paper with a sticky back, no, it won't stick to the cork on its own.
