So I’m not a type “A” person, generally. But I really hate when there are no coasters. I’ve seen enough damaged furniture to know how quickly an ice cold glass of lemonade can do it’s thing. And it isn’t pretty. On the other hand, plain old coasters from the discount store are UGLY. Basically an afterthought, which is never part of good design, right? Also, I love a good DIY decor craft project! Especially one that guests in my home will actually use, and can appreciate. So we went out and found you tutorials for the best cool & classy DIY coasters out there! So now you can create them yourself, and have something that matches your style. Bonus : You won’t be embarrassed to say, “Would you like a coaster for that?”
Cork is a great material to make coasters from, because it’s naturally water resistant. ‘Inspired by This‘ made these DIY “Dwell” inspired cork coasters in a just a short time, with inexpensive supplies you can get at any craft store. I would love to make these in copper or rose gold too!
‘Darkroom & Dearly’ has a DIY tutorial for their homemade polaroid coasters that are so retro cute. These actually are not polaroids, but they sure look like it! Really easy craft project with inexpensive 3×5 prints, Mod Podge, and some sealant spray on white tiles.

Loving on these DIY holographic coasters from ‘Love Vividly‘. These are made with foil paper on tile, and she tells you where to find the paper, too. I already can’t decide which DIY coasters I want to make!
Ok, this is the epitome of cool. ‘A Kailo Chic Life’ (we love Kara!) created these galaxy color blocked marble coasters that rock. These may look like complicated art, but they aren’t! Go check out the secret “paint” product that makes this project!
