The tips to making DIY Stencilled Coffee Coasters!
I fell in love with the colour of these coasters while shopping at a local store yesterday and the best part was that they were only $2.00 for 4 coasters!
but lets be honest they needed a bit of flair.... they were crying out for a bit of personality!
How to DIY Stencilled Coffee Coasters
So after having a scrummage through my craft stand, I noticed a stencil that I got on sale ages ago...yes so long ago I never even knew I had it... win win!
So armed with the stencil, I was ready....but I had no fabric paint in the right colours.
but I did notice a Sharpie pen.... in the texta pot ... that was oil based!!
yes...that means it was not going to scratch off the coasters and I could wipe down the coasters if needed.
(so like all good crafters...this is where it gets exciting, when you scrummage in the dark depths and find just what you need! 🙂 )
So I went about stencilling.
All I did was to make sure that I taped down the stencil on the coaster, so it wouldn't move while painting.
Tip - I then made a little pool of white paint (by pushing down the Sharpie pen tip a few times on a paper plate) and then using a stencil dabber, I simply filled in the stencil, waited for it to dry and then...
....Viola!
Coffee coasters with personality! (and done very cheaply!)
So of course, after such a hard craft activity, I sat down with a coffee on the new coaster and a slice of cake... (well a few really 🙂 )
and enjoyed the winter sunshine!
Enjoy!
