Vinyl Bubble Coasters

Today I have another set of coasters to share with you. You can see the vinyl snowflake coasters I made here. I've got another set of vinyl coasters I made but these ones are bubbles or dots.

Just like with the last, I started off with clean and dry white tiles I got from Home Depot for $.16 each.

Then I cut squares of cork and glued them on the bottom.

Using a paper punch I had that cut various sizes of circles out. I did two sets. One of silver and gold vinyl and one of red and green vinyl. I peeled the back off the vinyl and stuck them onto to the tile randomly. Then I coated them in glitter Martha Stewart Decoupage.

 Here is a close up of the green:

Here are the gold and silver again.

Of all the coasters I made, these were my mom's favorites.

Vinyl Snowflake Coasters

Welcome to the first 2014 post at Craft A Spell! I wish you all a happy new year! I hope 2014 brings you great and wonderful things.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I got the big present that was on my Christmas wish list - a KitchenAid Stand Mixer! I was so surprised! I didn't think I was going to get it. My parents even gave it to me in the color I wanted - cranberry.

I've got a few projects to share with you this month and a number of them have the same theme - coasters! My first is a snowflake coaster.

I bought half a box (40) of cheap, white ceramic tiles. I believe they were $.16 each. Before getting started, I washed and dried them all off since they were dusty.

Then I cut little squares out of a cork roll I had to make feet for the tiles so they wouldn't scratch a surface.

I hot glued them on the bottom of the tile.

Then, using a snowflake hole punch I had, I punched snowflakes out using silver, white, and light blue vinyl. I stuck them on the coaster and then coated it in glitter Martha Stewart decoupage. Here is a close up.

I positioned them so that two matched (all I did was switch the position of the white and silver). It was a very easy project!

The longest part was waiting for the decoupage to dry and cure. Trust me, you want to wait!

Stay tuned for more easy coaster ideas!
