The April Birthday girls were- hooksnneedles and Mrs.Fife -Both these ladies are avid crafters..and I spent a long time thinking what to make for them.Finally settled on Decoupage coasters.
I made 4 spotted coasters and 4 retro-floral ones and then couldn’t decide which one to send whom.So,I mixed them up and formed this set.
To give the coasters a neat professional finish,I covered the backing with felt pieces. Can you imagine my joy when hooksnneedles wrote back saying that she mistook them for store-bought ones!
For making these coasters,I used-
Unfinished Wooden coasters.
Scrapbooking paper.
Glue that dries clear.
Modge-podge
and Felt for backing.
Using Modge-Podge gives the paper a nice glossy shine and also makes them durable.
I hope the girls are getting some use out of these…
More later..
