"Um. What?!"
But, yes, I'm going to show you a craft project using coasters I made with Heritage Makers!
I first saw the idea {here} and thought it looked kinda cool. And then some things got changed around on my bathroom wall, and all of a sudden this was going to be the PERFECT thing to go there!
The first thing I did, of course, was create the coasters in my Heritage Makers account. {You can do the same thing by creating your own coasters.} And remember I'm here if you have questions. It took about 8 days to receive them in the mail, and then I gathered all my supplies together:
I did a beach theme, and I created the coasters using all pictures of beaches we've personally been to as a family in recent years. It was so fun! You can't see here, but in the bottom corner I actually put the place and date in small font.
If you're new to Heritage Makers coasters like I was for this project, here's the low-down. A little shy of 4" square, cork-backed, and a really glossy, nice finish on the front. (I honestly LOVED how my photos looked on these!!)
You might notice in my "supplies" photo (that I showed you first) that one of my supplies was a set of earrings! The original instructions for this craft were to use a "large book ring." I have one, but I just didn't like the look of it. So I thought What else is cheap but would look good and do the same thing? Walmart earrings, of course! :D
I expected this to be a little harder or more complicated, even though I knew how simple this project was, but for the next step you literally just hot glue the coasters to your length of ribbon. And that's it!
I saw that phrase "The beach fixes everything" on a sign once and adored it. That is definitely a true statement for me!
And there it is on my wall! I decided to dress it up a bit with the ribbon because I cut the bottom ribbon a bit too short, but those bows and knots are completely optional.
This is SUCH a fun project and SO EASY and such a cool way to display your photos. If you do this craft, I'd love to see YOUR photos! E-mail them to me at the address in the "contact me" tab above!
