Easy Coaster Craft

I never thought I was a fan of coasters. They always felt a little
too fussy for me; however since living on my own I have noticed the craving for
them a little more often. It’s not like we have any kind of nice furniture that
needs protecting or anything, but a constant spot to place my mug while sitting
at my desk is a comfort. A simply placed one on a stool to let a guest know
that we are those hobos who use it as an actual table because a. we have no
room for real tables and b. we are cheap as hell and these were by the side of
the road.

Speaking of being cheap there is no way in hell I’m about to
pay more than a couple bucks for a coaster so of course I decided to make them
myself. I had some quark laying around anyway, but you can pick it up at most
hobby stores pretty cheap. I measured out the size I wanted and cut them with
regular old scissors.
I wanted a geometric design so I laid them out with painters
tape and used a stencil brush and craft paint to stamp out my patterns. This was
a great, cheap and easy afternoon project that I’m pretty sure is an awesome
idea for children of all ages, and not just because I’m posting it here.

The extra pieces of quark I up cycled for a quark liner over
my desk. The thriftier in me just can’t let anything go to waste. 

Has the holiday craft bug hit you yet?
