DIY Wood Coasters
- Log into Cricut Design Space and access my DIY Wood Coasters project here.
- If you haven’t calibrated your Cricut Maker machine and your Cricut Knife Blade, you will need to do that so your knife blade will make accurate cuts. You can do that by following the directions here: Calibrate Cricut Knife Blade.
- If you want to change the design in any way, you can make changes to the design by selecting edit or you can create it just the way it is. These coasters will be 4 inches if you don’t make any changes to my design.
- Follow the directions and cut out the materials for the project. I have mine so that you can create 4 different colors but of course you can set it up to create it how you want it to be!
- Once the materials are all cut, you will want to paint your chipboard. I chose to paint mine white because I wanted to be able to use the fun glitter cardstock and have it show up against the white paint.
- Let the paint dry completely.
- Glue the fruit slices onto the round painted chipboard with the Mod Podge and let dry.
- When the Mod Podge has dried, paint a thin layer over the entire coaster including the front and the back.
- Repeat step 8, 2-3 times so that the coasters are waterproof. Let dry between each coat. This will help your coasters last longer with the drink condensation.
- Package up in a cute acetate box cut using the Cricut Maker, fine point blade and the scoring wheel and gift to a friend…or use the coasters in your own home! You can find the tutorial for the gift box here.
Stay tuned for the follow up tutorial with this post. I will be sharing how to make this cute little see through gift box to gift your DIY Coasters in! It literally takes a few minutes to make and you can cut it out right on your Cricut Maker using the scoring wheel and a fine point blade!
