If you have old coasters tucked away in a drawer because they no longer match your décor, don’t toss them just yet. With a few simple supplies, you can transform them into a one-of-a-kind accent you’ll be proud to display.
For this project, I used old foam coasters I found in my kitchen drawer. The supplies you’ll need are spray adhesive, a hot glue gun, fabric, and decorative trim. Choose fabric and trim that complement your kitchen or home décor. Be sure the trim is the same width as the edge of the coaster for a clean finish.
Start by using the coaster as a template to cut the fabric to size. Lightly spray the coaster with adhesive, then carefully place the fabric square on top, making sure the edges line up evenly. Press the fabric down firmly and smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles. Allow the adhesive to dry completely.
Next, measure and cut the decorative trim to fit around the edges of the coaster. Using a hot glue gun, attach the trim neatly along the perimeter. Once everything is dry, your stylish new coasters are ready to use or show off.
I stacked mine on a miniature chair I found at a thrift store, but I’m sure you’ll come up with your own creative way to display your personalized coasters. Simple, affordable, and stylish, sometimes the best décor pieces start with what you already have.
