How To Make Valentine’s Day Coaster

January 27, 2013

I just crafts for Valentine’s Day – maybe because I love red and pinks.

I timed myself and it took 13 minutes from start to finish to do this craft — my husband thought I actually bought them !!!!

What You Need

4 Coasters — You can find them at the Dollar Store or re-purpose some from another holiday

Hot Glue Gun and Glue

Scrap booking Paper — Any pattern will do — You can even personalize it

Hair Spray

Pen and Scissors

What To Do

Trace each coaster on the back side of the scrap booking paper while the hot glue gun is warming up

Cut out each “coaster topper”  – by this time the hot glue gun will be ready

Make sure to cover the coaster with a good amount of glue

Press the paper onto the glue for 10 seconds. Repeat till all paper is on the coasters

Lightly spray all the coasters with hair spray ( this helps protect the paper from water)

Enjoy!

This is a great frugal gift for your Valentine’s Day or present for a teacher or neighbors.

If you do make this craft I would LOVE to see it – send a picture to me on twitter or instagram with the #budgetsavvydiva or email it to me  – contact@budgetsavvydiva.com

Can you also use modge podge instead of hair spray? I think would be a good a present.
