DIY Valentine’s Day Coasters

Here’s a little mid-week pick-me-up for you and your coffee table! Only the sweetest of words make up these Valentine’s Day coasters. They make great DIY gifts too! Here’s how to make them…

Supplies: cork squares, tile letters (we used these, but you can also use Scrabble letters!), craft glue, an X-acto knife, and acrylic sealer spray.

Directions:
1. Sift through the tiles and create as many four letter words as you can (you can also make the coasters 5×5 if you wanted them to be larger!).
2. Glue the words onto a cork square. We used craft glue because it doesn’t dry right away so we had a little time to rearrange the letters if they got tilted or pushed out of place.
3. When the glue is completely dry, use the X-acto knife to cut away the excess cork.

4. Spray the coasters with acrylic sealer and let dry completely.

If you run out of letters, get creative with a fine Sharpie!

These coasters would work for lots of other holidays as well. Save the rest of your tiles for future projects 😉

Supplies: a white styrofoam cone, candy conversation hearts, hot glue.

Directions: Starting from the bottom, attach candy hearts to the base of the cone using hot glue. Work your way up the cone until you reach the top. Stagger the hearts as you work on each row to cover as much of the cone as you can.

Optional: Spray the entire cone with acrylic sealer when finished.
