More washi tape!

This time, we’re making coasters. I like having holiday coasters to go with holiday décor and these are both easy and inexpensive. They would also be a good hostess give (especially when paired with a bottle of wine). You could make none Christmas pictures with the same method, just choose different tape.

Easy. As. Pie.

You will need:
4” tiles (or whatever size you find)
washi tape
Modge Podge or other sealant.
felt

Place the tape on a diagonal across the tile, starting in the center. I like leaving a bit of room between each stripe to keep the pattern from becoming too busy. Then continue, alternating patterned tapes until you reach the corners.

I trimmed the tape, using the tile as my guide, with about an 1/8” edge to fold down over the top of tile. I like the way it finishes the coasters.

When the tape is as desired (it can be easily repositioned while you’re working if you need to move it around…not all of my stripes were straight the first time either), seal the coasters with Modge Podge or another brush on sealant. I also sprayed mine with clear coat to make them fully water resistant.
Glue a square of felt to the bottom to prevent the tiles from scraping any furniture.

Allow everything to dry and you’re done. I think wrapping a stack of coasters with a bow would make a great gift. A six-inch tile could work as a trivet (if I had thought to pick up a larger tile, I would have a trivet).
