You know those cardboard coasters that many people collect from different bars? Before tossing them into the recycle bin, I wondered if there was something I could do with them. Pinterest to the inspirational rescue. I discovered two different ideas and kind of morphed them into my own take on it. I didn’t have decoupage, so I checked out Pinterest and made my own. I grabbed some interesting papers and those cardboard coasters and decoupaged away.
Original inspirations from Pinterest
DIY decoupage
Decoupage, coasters, sponge applicator
I shredded the papers to apply to the coaster
I had to thoroughly saturate the coaster and paper to ensure adhesion
four completed
I propped the coasters up on scrap cardboard to dry so they didn’t stick to the work area
After they completely dried, I trimmed off the excess paper along the edge

Tie them nicely with ribbon or yarn and they are a great handout at showers or weddings
(or simply a nice handmade gift for someone)
