What you would need:
- Felt stickers (I got mine at the $1 store; they are for moving furniture)
- Decorative gems-vase fillers that were $3 at a thrift store ( you can see the gems that I used in my lanterns in this blog)
- Tiles (got them for $0.47 at Lowes) I was going for the beach theme so they look like sand
- Hot glue gun
Yes, the gems are oval, but the bottom of them are flat so I super glued them upside down and they still hold really really well. I ruffed up the tiles a little bit with Sand paper to help them stick some more.
I did 4 coasters. The one on the left shows that you don't have to have a design and they still look super cute. On the right I did a simple flower.
I put the felt stickers on the bottom so they don't scratch my pretty newly painted table :)
Oh, I hot glued them on also just in case.
This project probably took me 30 mins to complete. The hot glue dries pretty much instantly so I was ready to use them as soon as I was done gluing the bottoms on. Simple as that. To make it a gift, if you don't know what the persons home decor is, instead of colored gems you can Mog Podge craft paper on the tiles. Do about 5-6 coats, let 10 mins per-coat to dry and there you have it, cheap, cute coaster that only cost maybe $5 Have fun
This is the one I made with scrap book paper. my mother in law loved it so much she made me make her a set too :) They are a good idea for the holidays if you are in a bind with money
Love you all,
