Coy Coffee…

This weekend, I decided to pull from my pinterest pins and make some coasters…

So we headed out to Paper Source to have a squizz at their selection (they had some super cute v-day papers that would turn this idea into an adorable, inexpensive gift!) and pick up some awesome paper that I had spotted online.

Paper grabbed (and mod podge). I heart me some Koi. Did i ever tell you about the time we owned Koi and fed them cat food?

Tiles grabbed. Home Depot – 6 tiles for just over $1!

Insert beer and a REALLY cute assistant.

A light coating of Mod Podge for the base glue.

Caaaaareful placement…

Times 6.

A few more light coats of mod podge (I ended up doing about 6-7 coats with 20 minutes drying in between each) and Bob’s your uncle. I’m going to hit up the fabric store this week to grab some felt for the backsides of the coasters, but in the meantime this will give the mod podge plenty of curing time.

I have to say, this project was so easy and very inexpensive…but the results were FANTASTIC!

  1. I think any sort of slightly glossy paper would work with the mod podge…anything too porous would kind of absorb it and become more see through…but your collages should work pretty well.
  2. AWESOME! The coasters would look terrific! Penis coasters!
  3. True story. Also socks. According to the B socks stop all sorts of nonsense.
  4. Thanks. I think he was drunk. Either that or the camera man was
