One of my favorite types of gifts, to both give and receive, is something that is homemade.
For Christmas, my mother-in-law surprised us with a collection of DIY painted coasters!
The coasters are tumbled marble tiles from Home Depot, which she sanded down. Then she painted on them and gave each coaster a final coat of polyurethane.
Then she glued cork to the bottom (using Elmer’s Glue, she said she did her research!)
She said that she got the idea from a store – where they were charging $12 for each coaster!
Plus, she gave us a set of 12 coasters, which is great because I never seem to have enough coasters around when we have a party.
We’ve got crafty genes all over this family tree.
They’ve already been put to the test! Saturday morning coffee and a read through one of my new Christmas reads!
These are sooo cool! I could definitely see these down in a shop in Stone Harbor/ Cape May/ The Cape!! Love them.
Yay! Pippa! 🙂
yay Pippa!!!! aren’t these super cute?
Very cute!
nice, I like the one with rope, is that made with stencil?
She started with a stencil, but ending up hand-painting. I think she said the stencil bled the shape more.
ok, cheers!
Love these! We here at Boston to Georgia are always trying to find little details to spruce up a party or as you said, give the best gifts to receive! Thanks for sharing!
