Slate Coasters
I was recently inspired by some slate coasters that I saw online. The downside? The edges were really rough! I wanted something rustic, yet a bit more refined. I know, I know - I'm SOOOO picky. So, I decided that I'm crafty and I'll just make my own darn coasters! I had seen the perfect 4*4 inch tumbled slate tiles at the hardware store while we were working on other home improvement projects. I already had some thin cork coasters, which were flimsy on their own, but PERFECT to serve as a backing for the tiles to protect table tops. The only equipment I needed was a hot glue gun - check! I could have also used another adhesive like Liquid Nails or something similar.

Great idea! I love this -- I would have never thought to put a slate tile over a coaster board! Wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The cork was just too thin on its own, but worked wonderfully with the slate.
ReplyDeleteI wonder which one is good to use glass mugs. Slate coaster or paper coaster?
