We love, love, love coasters! There are really an unlimited number of possibilities when it comes to designing your own coasters. All you need are cheap coasters or tiles (ours were $1 for 4), some glue, a fun textile (paper, photos, fabric, etc), and less than 10 minutes! One of our favorite lazy sunday read is Persuading Annie by Melissa Nathan (its fabulously entertaining modern version of Jane Austen's Persuasion...we dare you not to fall in love with Jake Meade! :-)) The book cover is just as adorable as the book itself so we decided to make prints of the book cover for our coasters.
The second one is even easier! We just attached pages from a copy of (yup, you guessed it) Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility which we got as a used book store for 50 cents.
Just make sure you seal the textile on with a couple layers of glue so they can sustain those spills!
These would be perfect for gifts (you can really personalize them) or if you just want to experiment and make something darling!
~We really recommend picking this one up from your bookstore or library. It's a PERFECT summer beach read!~
