DIY Cork Coasters: Large Easy Craft Mission!

Proper now we’re once more with one different model of our DIY Summer season School! As likelihood is you will recall, every two weeks I group up with my DIY Summer season School crew (designPOST Interiors, Dimples & Tangles, Thou Swell, Charming in Charlotte, Lindsey Brooke Design, Claire Brody Designsand Avery Avenue Design) to convey you a gratifying drawback and a hyperlink up get collectively.

Proper now we had been challenged to make a mission from the software program retailer, and I created some extraordinarily simple and quick DIY cork coasters.

DIY cork coasters truly aren’t a model new thought and I’ve seen tons of variations on-line. I merely occurred to have all the devices available that I needed for this mission so I decided to current it a attempt! I was in need for some coasters to make use of out of doors in our courtyard as soon as we spend time there. Most of our totally different coasters had been breakable or stainable, so I wanted one factor I wouldn’t have to stress about outside.

I started with a pack of 12″ by 12″ cork tiles I had purchased some time previously at Lowe’s. I knew I could use them for one factor, nevertheless certainly not truly had an exact plan. I moreover put to utilize my circle rotary cutter (take into account what a godsend it was for my felt ruffle wreaths)? I’m not exaggerating, I was able to reduce each of these out in beneath 60 seconds with the rotary. Don’t worry – throughout the shot beneath, the reduce was my first strive so I undoubtedly hadn’t perfected my strategy.

The vital factor to large clear strains is to verify the rotary blade is chopping all by. Do you have to get to the highest and there are nonetheless elements linked, do not pull it. You’ll want to ensure you let the blade do the work!

As quickly as I had reduce out the 4 coasters I wanted, I decided to spice them up with some patterns. For basically essentially the most half, I free-handed all of the issues because of I wanted additional of a gratifying, whimsical look that one thing too essential (they’d been going outside, in any case). For the straight edges, I merely used a catalog I had available that had a pleasing company edge – glorious for using with the Sharpie.

Admittedly, throughout the {photograph} beneath, I shouldn’t have photographed the polka dot one on prime. After I used to be enhancing all the images, all I could take into account was chocolate chip cookies! I actually like this simple little mission and I’ll like double my assortment proper right here throughout the subsequent few days. It is good to have extra coasters available, and I actually like that I don’t have to stress about hurt to these.
