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.

The project was a snap and they look fantastic on my dark wood tables in the family room!
