It has been awhile since our last post. We have been busy working on opening up our Etsy shop and have gotten our first couple of sales, which has been fun!!
We've added some more items since we opened, check it out here!
Onto the tutorial of the day - DIY Coasters!
This is one of our favorite projects so far. There are endless options of what you can make design wise, so it can coordinate with any decor. Best of all, this project cost under $10 and only takes an hour or two (most of the time is spent waiting for the Mod Podge coats to dry).

* 2 sheets of 12" x 12" scrapbook paper of your choice

3. Add 3 or 4 coats of Mod Podge over the paper to seal it in place. Wait about 20 minutes in between each coat of Mod Podge.
4. Once they have been sealed with Mod Podge spray on an acrylic sealer (got it at Michael's by the spray paint) to keep the coasters waterproof.

5. Cut squares of felt and glue them on the bottom of each tile to keep the coasters from scratching your furniture.
That's it!! How easy was that?! These can be done in any design and make great gifts!
