The Coasters

I mentioned in previous posts that I will be DIYing coasters, well guess what?? I'm done!! Well mostly.

I have to say that I am really pleased on how they turned out. My only qualm was that I wasn't completely happy with the selection of scrapbook paper that the two stores sold. Also, I have not 100 % completed the project. I just need to add the felt backing once the sealant dries.


You can make coasters too by using the instructions that Style Me Pretty provided on their blog. The writer goes in to full detail on the supplies and the steps so I won't repeat it here. I will, however, share some pictures from my progress.

Anyway, these can be great gifts for Christmas, birthdays or any other occasion. It is very easy and cheap too but it is also a personal gift because you can customize it to the recipient's tastes.
