Coasting on Paper

October 18, 2011 By Shannah 1 Comment

I always seem to be sitting in our family room with a drink in my hand and no where to put it.  Serious problem right?!  I was cruising Pinterest the other day and came across a handy tutorial for making coasters.  Perfect.  Pinterest to the rescue as usual.
Out came the modge podge and some scrapbook paper.  A quick trip to Home Depot and my supplies were complete.

 I brushed on the mod podge and then placed the scrapbook paper on top.

Obviously I had to do some trimming.  I just flipped it over and trimmed with an exacto knife.  Once the paper was trimmed, I brushed mod podge onto the top as well.

A quick 15 minute project.  The tiles were a little rough on the bottom so I didn’t want to put it directly onto my table without some additional alterations.  I was also a single parent for the weekend so I didn’t want to drag both kids to the store.  What did I find in my bathroom…a solution (Warning: this is a little embarrassing even if we don’t really use them for their prescribed usage)

I placed four of them on the bottom to keep the coaster from scratching my table.

I also sprayed a quick matte finishing spray on top for a little added protection.  A set of 4 coasters for under $5!  Awesome.

If you need some extra coasters, give this a try.  It will take you just a few minutes but give you a stylish place to set your drinks.
