Stenciled Leather Coasters

April 8, 2015 By Ginger Bergemann 26 Comments

Hey y’all! It’s Ginger from Gingerly Made again. I don’t know what it is, but we can’t seem to keep a set of coasters around my house! I think the kids play with them and then loose them. Usually you can only find 1 or maybe 2. So since they are prone to getting lost, I periodically need to get more. But I don’t want to spend a lot of money. So what do I do?… Hit the thrift stores. Thanks to a thrift store find and some craft supplies I already owned, I was able to make these stenciled leather coasters for $2.00!!

I was looking for some stone tile type coasters, but only found paper ones and these “Patriots Colony” tin and cork coasters. I liked the cork bottom and knew I could upcycle these into something much prettier, so even though it wasn’t what I was specifically looking for, I went with it.

A Glimpse: Mother’s Day

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cardstore.

Mother’s Day is just over a week away. Every time Mathlete and I start to discuss plans for Mother’s Day, I am reminded of six years ago when I first became a mom. Talk about a complete shock?! Being a mom is crazy hard but also super rewarding. Growing up, I didn’t always have the greatest relationship with my mom because well…I’m female and was probably a super emotional brat back then. Thankfully, as I grew up, I really started to recognize how awesome my mom is and how hard she worked to make my life as amazing as she possibly could. I definitely credit her with so much of who I am today {well, all the good parts…she totally could have spared a little patience and passed it along though because I definitely lack that}.

I mean, don’t you wish you had these two for parents?! They take funny selfies in fast food restaurants.

Looking for inspiration, I searched and found these handmade Mother’s Day gift ideas that helped me choose something and might help you too!

Well, I hope all the moms out there had a great Mother’s Day! I was truly spoiled {as usual} by my family. As part of May’s photo glimpse, I thought I would share a little bit of my mother’s day with you!

My Mother’s Day really started on Friday when I was surprised with these beauties

And yes that is a potted plant in my cup holder. You don’t keep one there too?
