I know there isn’t anything original about these coasters but I’ve wanted to make them for a while. I actually bought similar coasters off etsy years ago when hubby and I lived in our apartment and loved them so was sad when they broke. I also decided three years ago I would make my own, it wasn’t until I saw them again in Pinterest that I was reminded.
This weekend while hubby was away camping {and shooting Fireball Whiskey out of a water gun I’ve since discovered?…) my sister and I had the house to ourselves for a night of crafts!
First up, Modge Podge Coasters:
As suspected, they were super easy to make. The hardest part was choosing which paper to use.
My sister and I searched everywhere for the super cheap 4”x4” tiles (less than 0.20 cents each, usually found at HD) but everywhere was sold out (my guess is Pinterest is causing massive raids of supplies at home hardware/paint stores)…so we were forced to pay a whopping 0.32 cents/tile.
Lets break this cost down:
-4 tiles @ 0.32 cents= $1.28
-1 piece of scrapbooking paper $0.75
-Modge Podge: Owned (price varies depending on size of bottle $5.00-$20.00)
-Felt for back: also owned from previous projects…such as my beach rock doorstop!
I spent a total of $2.03, not too shabby!
I made a few other little crafts this past weekend too which I’ll share later!
Love it!
