Fall Leaf Coasters

by 18 Comments

Last week, I came across a project on Inner Child Fun that I immediately knew Little Crafter and I were going to need to try!  Valerie and her daughter made the most adorable  Fall Leaf Coasters using just a few simple supplies…including Mod Podge {which as you probably know has been the crafting material of choice here in the Artsy Family lately!}  We had everything on hand except for the tiles themselves, so after a quick trip to Home Depot, we were ready to whip up a few of our own.  Here they are:
MOD PODGED FALL LEAF COASTERS

All you need for this project is:

Square white tiles, available at your local home improvement store for a really affordable price…these bad boys were 16 cents a piece…

Tissue paper in assorted colors: we stuck with fall colors, but our inspiration included blues and pinks and other colors too…totally up to you and your little crafters.

Mod Podge: any formula will do, but we chose to use Sparkle.  After all, as LC and I always say, “Glitter makes everything better!”

The process is super-complicated.  Are you ready for this?  Cut out leaf shapes, attach them to the tiles using Mod Podge, and then give the whole thing a coat of Mod Podge once they’re dry.  Simple, but oh-so-adorable, aren’t they?!  And oh-so-doable for even the littlest of helpers, which is what I love best about them.  Well, that and the fact that the project cost me a total of 64 cents.

Don’t you think they’re the perfect compliment to a nice mug of hot cider or a pumpkin spice latte?  Me too.

I’m already thinking of the holiday possibilities…snowflakes?  Trees?  Snowmen?  A tissue paper nativity?  Hmm.  Maybe that one’s a bit ambitious.  Anyway, thanks to Inner Child Fun for the inspiration!

Happy Crafting!

    Very cute! We found a box of old white tiles in a closet when we moved into our house, so I could cut 16 cents off the cost right there. Sounds like a perfect project for the kids to make for presents for the relatives this year!

  2. […] One Artsy Mama likes the idea of creating decoupage style coasters too! Instead of covering the whole surface of each coaster with one strip or piece of map, however, they suggest cutting out pieces of red, yellow, orange, and brown tissue paper in leaf shapes and using Mod Podge to stick them across the surface like fallen autumn leaves.

  5. […] These Fall Leaf Coasters cost less than a quarter a piece to make! Grab some tiles from the local hardware store, along with some tissue paper, scissors, and Mod Podge, and you’ll have a festive set of coasters in no time. Make some for yourself and a few sets to give as gifts! School age kids can do this entire project with very little supervision, and smaller kiddos will enjoy placing the cut leaf shapes on the tiles. […]
