I was looking on Pinterest and Etsy for some inspiration and found some really cute map coasters. I thought it would be a fun project so I went to get the supplies to make my own. I asked my friend Jennifer to help me (aka the craft queen) because I knew with her they would turn out great! Here is how I created them.
- 4 x 4 tiles (I got mine at Home Depot!)
- Modge Podge (I used the glossy kind so they would have a nice glossy look)
- sheets of cork
- adhesive spray
- xacto knife
- ruler
- foam brush
- maps (I got mine at paper source)
Directions:
First I traced (with a pencil and a rule) the outline of a square on the sections of the maps I wanted to use and cut them out individually using a xacto knife. Next I used the adhesive spray to put pieces of cork on the bottoms of each tile. I then started to modge podge (using a foam brush) the maps on to the coasters. I suggest doing one coat, waiting for it to dry and doing a second coat. And voila, you have beautiful map coasters!
