Hey there Scrap Shoppe readers! I am so excited to be here today to share a DIY holiday decoration with you all! Thanks so much for having me, Michele!

First, a little about me…

My name is Kara and I am a wife to my best friend and a mommy to a sassy and sweet 3 year old. I am also the blogger behind Mine for the Making where I share crafts, tutorials, recipes, home improvement projects, mommy adventures, printables, frugal decorating, organizational tips, and ideas for teaching. I also make lovely handmade jewelry and hair accessories to sell in my shop. I am a former teacher recently turned stay-at-home-mom and am totally loving it, but am constantly looking for ways to keep busy! Thank goodness for blogland and Pinterest, right? : )

I am so excited to share an awesome and fairly inexpensive DIY holiday gift idea!
Christmas Coasters

{Supplies}

-4in x 4in white tiles (I bought 8 from Home Depot for $0.13 a piece. I plan to make 2 sets of them.)
-Vinyl (I had black vinyl on hand)
-Transfer paper (optional)
-Vinyl cutter (I used my Silhouette)
-Mod Podge
-Sponge brush
-Heavy duty glue (I used E6000)
-Felt pads (12 in a pack at the dollar store)

{How To}
1. Using the Silhouette design studio, I designed what I wanted each of my coasters to look like.

{I apologize for this photo…my camera does not like taking pictures of my computer screen.}

2. I wiped down the tiles and added felt pads to the bottom four corners of each tile, adhering with E6000.

3. After your designs are cut in the vinyl, transfer the vinyl to the tiles and smooth.

4. Using your sponge brush, put several coats of Mod Podge over the top of your tiles, making sure each coat dries before applying another.

5. Tie a ribbon around your coaster stack and call it a gift!

Happy Holiday Crafting, friends!
Meet up with me on my blog, Facebook, or Pinterest.

Such a cute gift idea! Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Kara!
