Looking for a fun inexpensive craft to do & protect your table surfaces?

Well why not make your own coasters?

This was a fun craft Zoie & I did together that we actually enjoyed doing together.

Items Needed
Directions
  1. Start by obtaining your 4.25 x 4.25 Prints
  2. Plugin your glue gun, this way the glue gun will be hot when needed
  3. Place your drop cloth on the surface you’ll be working
  4. Set out your materials on top of the drop cloth
    • See photos 1 & 2
  5. Grab the tile & felt you’ll be working with
  6. Flip the tile upside down
    • See photo 3
  7. In the center of the tile place a generous amount of hot glue, place the felt over the top. Align the felt corner to corner
    • See photo 4
  8. Now lift the edges of the felt & on the tile add hot glue, pressing the felt as you go down.
    • This will seal the felt to the tile, so the tile will not scratch the surface the coaster is laid on.

  9. Once you’ve done all four sides flip the tile/felt over
  10. Now you will grab your paintbrush and apply a light coating of modge podge over the entire surface

  15. After 30 minutes or when dry, take your coasters outside on the dropcloth & spray with the UV-Resistant Clear Gloss
    • Please note do not do this inside
