DIY Friday - Cool Coasters





I recently got a new table for our family room and realized I need some coasters to keep the table in good shape for years to come. I decided to make some tile coasters for our table, and when I was looking for instruction I found lots of other cool ides for making coasters.

customize cork coasters

decorate wood pieces
decorate a tile
create rope coasters
make your own felt coasters
recycle old lids
chalkboard coasters

What are your favorite coasters made from?

  2. They are beautiful. I have been reluctant to try tile coasters b/c they seem slippery. My fave are the ones made of stone that absorbs the glass sweat.

  3. Very cool! Like the recycled lids - seems like those would catch the drips well from melting ice in the glass.

    ps - I've got a big giveaway going on, make sure you pop over and enter!

  6. I bought a set of crochet coasters on Etsy and I really love those.
    I'd love to give tile painting a try one of these days :)
