Wine Time Drink Coasters

Today for the Itty Bitty A Day challenge that is going on at the Unity Show & Tell page on Facebook I wanted to share some drink coasters I made for my father.

He is an avid wine connoisseur and also the chef at home, so I made these coasters for him along with an apron that was also "wine" themed :)

I began my project with four tiles that I picked up at Home Depot. I picked out four different "wine themed" Itty Bitty stamps by Unity.

I used StazOn ink in Timber Brown to stamp the images on my tiles.

When the ink was dry I colored the images in with Dove Grey, Olive Green, and Blazing Red StazOn ink using "fantastix" coloring tools with both the bullet and brush points.

After all the ink had dried, I sealed them with two coats of Modge Podge letting them dry after each coat. Then, to protect any table they might be set on, I glued cork to the bottoms of the coasters using a little E6000.

Supplies used: coasters - Home Depot; stamps - It's Wine O'Clock, Shall We UnWined?, Coffee and Wine, and Wine & Friends Itty Bitty's by Unity; ink - Timber Brown, Dove Grey, Olive Green and Blazing Red StazOn ink; Fantstix color blending sticks; Modge Podge; cork; E6000 glue.

I chose a super inexpensive and easy project for you today. It would make a wonderful hostess gift to take to a Christmas party!

This is all you need, some 4X4 tiles (I picked up a package of 9 at Home Depot for only $3.97); cork sheets, Modge Podge, cocktail napkins and glue (I used E6000).

Cut your napkin down to fit the top of the tile. Gently seperate the layers so you only have one thin layer of the napkin. Apply a thin layer of modge podge to the front of the tile, lay the napkin on the tile and smooth out the wrinkles. Apply three coats of Modge Podge to the top, letting it dry after each coat. Cut your piece of cork to fit the bottom and glue on.
Pretty cute drink coasters, aren't they?

Tie them up with a pretty ribbon and you have a darling gift!

Supplies used: tiles - Home Depot; napkins - Target; Modge Podge, cork - Michaels.
