Coaster Time

I've finally made coasters after having our nice, new end tables for about 6 months and our revamped coffee table for about a year.

I naturally found this idea on Pinterest. And it's pretty simple, and fairly inexpensive. 
Actually, the most difficult thing for me, was choosing the design I wanted our coasters to be from all of these options


Jesse said he liked the green the best and it was the first paper I picked out, so that's what I went with. Started out by cutting squares to fit the tiles (bathroom tiles on clearance at Lowe's for 35 cents).


Next up was using a few layers of Mod Podge to get the paper good and stuck on the tile.


I was in quite a rush with my last steps and bypassed picture taking. I cut out felt squares and hot glued to the bottom so the tiles had a soft padding when skooching across the tabletops. Then, I sprayed them with a clear coat sealer.

Final step: Enjoy the awesome-ness.

Check out our new pet, Ollie the Owl. He's bringin' in the wisdom to the living room.

  6. Hi! I understand this is kind of off-topic however I needed to ask.
    Does running a well-established blog such as yours require a large amount of work?
    I'm brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary everyday. I'd like
    to start a blog so I can share my personal experience and feelings online.
    Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners.
    Thankyou!

    I cаn't exactly remember why--maybe it was peer pressure from our health-driven community, who knows. Sometimes the pizza slice seller will place your precious portion inside of a triangle-shaped cardboard container, smile, then wave you on your merry way.

  26. The cheeѕe would be melted and bubbly, but ultimate of
    all the toppings would not be buгnt. Creating pіzza
    is enjoyment, not that compleх, and a wondеrfully гesouгceful way tо impress clоse fгiends and
    familу unіt with yοur cooking skillsets - furthermore make tasty fоods that ԁo not sρlit the buԁget.
    Stir in onions, celery, choppeԁ yellow bell pepper and prepаre dinnеr until tendeг.
