It's a break from clothes today, yay!! I've got a little project that I'm working on and needed a bunch of goodies like these for it, so today we're doing coasters!! Hello cork that isn't coming out of a wine bottle I'm opening!!
The last apartment I lived in had cork flooring in the kitchen that I was just obsessed with, and these coasters reminded me of it because of the thin, tile-y feel! I'm not re-laying my floor if you're wondering....still keeping them as coasters!
I love the cork look, so I'm just going to embellish what we're starting with. I took some Scotch Blue Painter's Tape...
...and began to tape stripes and lines all over them! They had a retro feel to them and I kept thinking...what would Don Draper use for his cocktails??
With my lines drawn, I took some Martha Stewart Crafts paint in a beautiful rose gold shade...
...and began to paint in most of the open, cork-exposed areas.
I finished my coasters, all with different patterns, and let them dry for a few hours.
I began to unpeel the tape when they were dry...
...and ended up with six AWESOME, new coasters!!
I love the subtleness of them, while still being sleek and modern. Giving some basic coasters a little zhuzhing!!
Now my champagne glasses have something totally appropriate to sit on!!
More pictures with my new table accessories to come...
