Coasters

I know I get excited quite a lot of the time about crafting and the things I am making, but sometimes I make something that is particularly exciting.  This post is about one of these occasions!  I've made coasters, and I'm really pleased with how they have turned out.  I bought a pack of blank coasters from my local craft shop, and decided to use the Sale-a-bration papers Everyday Enchantment to cover them. I cut the papers to just bigger than the coaster, and then used the sanding blocks to shape the paper to fit exactly.  I then covered the paper with sticky back plastic, and again, sanded it to give a clean finish.  I think they look quite professional, and I can't wait to try it again with different papers.  I held a workshop recently, and they looked great on the table amongst our make and take projects and catalogues. 

Here they are all spread out.

A close up view, you can see the shiny surface on this one.

Had to try them out with a cuppa!

After all that crafting, I deserved a nice glass of wine.

Don't forget, time is running out to get your hands on these lovely papers, I've nearly used all mine already! They're only available until the end of March, so place your orders now.
