DIY Map Coasters
These DIY map coasters are super easy so break out your Mod Podge and follow along. You might even make a few sets as these make great gifts as well. Once you know how to make your own coasters, you will be making them for gifts and so much more!
What You Will Need
- Mod Podge
- Maps
- Tiles
- Self-adhesive felt
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Paintbrush
Instructions
- Decide which part of the map you want to use for each coaster. Then, place the coaster over the center of that area and trace around your coasters onto the maps. After the tracing is just right, cut your maps to size with scissors.
- Then, apply a layer of Mod Podge to the BACK of your paper and allow to avoid "wrinkling".
- After that has dried, add a layer of Mod Podge to the tile itself and adhere your map to it.
- After that dries, apply about 3 layers of Mod Podge to the top of your coasters allowing them to fully dry between each coat. The Outdoor Mod Podge is best for this as it will hold up better.
- Allow coasters to cure for 48-72 hours before using.
Notes
To avoid "wrinkling" when using Mod Podge, apply a layer of Mod Podge to the BACK of your paper and allow to dry before beginning your project.
