Today I have a quick and easy project, that is great to get the kids involved in too. And of course they make great gifts for grannies :)
I am sure we all use them, but why are most of the ones you can buy in shops so boring. I bought some plain plastic ones to decorate from http://www.bakerross.co.uk/ . They come in a pack of six, I used two of mine to make a coaster each for my kids to have in their bedrooms for their bedtime drink.
They are so simple and easy to decorate and use, they come with a pre cut piece of white card, which makes it very easy to cut your patterned paper to size. I just found two pictures of the kids that I liked and cut round them Then stuck them down to the patterned paper that I had chosen and already cut to size, added a couple of rub ons and they were done.
Unfortunately you cannot be bulky with these coasters as the top and bottom fit closely together so brads and buttons are a no no. I still think they look very effective, and are ideal for kids to use, I have four left so will do something pretty with them for our living room I think. Trish xxx
Thanks for visiting and don't forget it's A-Z kick off on Saturday!
Love them! They are really effective :)
