We got an early anniversary gift from my sister-in-law when we were up in Tulsa a couple of weeks ago. She knows me well, and gave me something she knew I would love. We tend to put chalk paint on pretty much everything we can, why not coasters? Such an awesome idea, and one I will copying, as teacher appreciation week is coming up real soon.
These were super easy to make, I just picked up some 31 cent tiles from Home Depot, used a fine sanding paper to roughen them up a bit, and sprayed painted them with chalk paint. I then used some furniture felt pads for underneath, done! So easy, and so cute, it will definitely be something different. How about my kids give them with a flower and a chalk paint pen?
This year, we have 5 teachers to give gifts to, so when I come across something nice, and inexpensive, I am all over it. Here are the tiles before I spray painted them:
And here is the final result:
Have a great week.

This will be a great idea for gifts-especially those you don't know what to buy for them! Love, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!
Sweet project; looks pretty on the table with twine--I agree--would make a lovely gift too.
ReplyDeleteI love coasters, and have some of the marbled tiles sitting upstairs in my craft supplies as we speak. Such a great look though! Love how you packaged them together as well. Great job! : )..
ReplyDeleteNow that is a great idea. I love it! Thanks for sharing with the newbie party.
ReplyDeleteFound you through Tip Junkie! Loving the coasters, very outdoor/earthy feel to them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! So unique and in the perfect price range for a teacher gift. I taught for 9 years and I never got anything that cool!
