diy photo coasters
Coasters are not just for us semi-‘Type A’ folk – they really are useful. Really! And when designed with your favorite photos, they are a great way to liven up your next drink with friends. Plus they’re a fun and easy gift to make for the holidays.
- Buy some plain cork coasters (available at craft stores – I used the Duga coasters from IKEA) or cut your own coaster-sized cork pieces from a cork roll or cork tile. Four by four inches is a nice size if you’re cuttin’ your own.
- For super water-proofness, cut out some peel-and-stick laminate sheets to fit over images you want to use and stick them on.
- Using the cork coaster as a template, cut out your laminated images.
- Glue image back to the coaster and let dry under the weight of a book or two. (I used Zip Dry paper glue.)
- Wrap ‘em up with the recipient’s libation of choice.
