to get some coasters.
Which as a DIY'er..
Yep those DIY wheels started turning, and I remembered I actually had
some sheets of cork in my craft room. So here we go.. :0)
So I got out a sheet of cork, scissors, a ruler, a pencil, and scrap piece of
adhesive vinyl. (to add some pizazz to the coasters of course)

Then I measured the cork - 12" x 12".

That's easy enough, so I used my ruler to mark off 4" squares, which will give me
9 coasters altogether.

Math does come in handy from time to time.. who knew! :0)

Then I cut them out. I tried using scissors at first, but the edge was uh, not to impressive..
now down to 8 coasters. :0)
So I used an X acto knife and that worked much better.
(not completely perfect, but better)

off the backing.

Then placed it onto my coaster.

Then using some turquoise paint to give them some pizazz that I mentioned earlier.. :0)
I stippled it onto the open area of the heart cutout.
Remove vinyl - and continue with the others until done..
and let them dry.

Kind of stinkin' cute I'd say,
basically free since I already had everything,
and super simple.

Those are stinkin' cute! :) And free is the best project! I am hoping to do something crafty over the weekend. I have a 3-day weekend and am so excited! Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
