That's right! Coasters! Not just any coasters but owl and russian doll hand-crafted coasters! Oh my! All you need to do is pick up a few tiles from the hardware store, grab yourself some fun prints (like wrapping paper or anything laser printed) and then whip out the ever useful mod podge! Throw a few scraps of felt on the bottom to protect the tiles from scratching and your'e done! Lovely! Then you will have all the table protecting custom goodness you could ever use! Okay, so there is one flaw with the project -it takes a good 30 days for mod podge to completely harden. Not a problem as long and you avoid using your new coasters with any hot beverages for a month (which sort of counteracts the whole "coaster" thing). Alas - if you're extra impatient you can spray some sealant on them and then they will be ready right away. Perfect! So what do you think? What designs or images would you want on your new tile coasters? Hmm?
I love the owl! Now I wonder where I can get a cute owl picture like the one on the blog!
ReplyDeleteOMG! You should make Kate coasters! Like with woodland creatures and love robots and such!
ReplyDeleteYou SHOULD make Kate coasters! This idea is so cool! I loves it and want to make these as Christmas presents for everyone I know - except I think finding the images would be really hard. Maybe if I start looking now, I'll have time to get them made really early so they harden by Xmas!
ReplyDeleteThey look awesome! I don't know if I could resist using them for 30 days though ... I would have to hide them from myself ^_^
ReplyDeleteThese are great! My mom's a coaster freak and insists on us using coasters when we're at her place so every year I give her coasters. This year I think I'll make them. What a great idea!
