Custom Monogram Coasters – A Must Have!

Coasters: For coasters, there are many different types that you can get. The ones showed above I bought from Dollar Tree for $1 apiece. They are really nice because they have cork on the bottom so it will not scuff your table but the stone on top is absorbent. They also come in different designs which is super fun to play with.

That being said there are other options as well. I have also used just regular cork coasters (those require HTV) I have also use slate coasters that I bought at Michael’s. So you can buy new or if you already have some and what to give them a fresh look. You have plenty of options.

Vinyl: Like I mentioned before for these coasters from dollar tree I just used regular permanent vinyl.

Transfer Tape: Naturally you don’t want to use a strong grip transfer tape. My personal favorite transfer tape is the Paper Studio Transfer Tape you can buy at Hobby Lobby.

How-To:

1. After you collect your materials you want to get on design space and create your design. Right now I’m going crazy over these split monograms that are part of the image library. Before you move to on make sure that everything is attached if you are using all one color.

2. Make sure that your image is within the dimension size and duplicate the design for how many coasters that you are making.

3. Cut out the design.

4. Weed out the extra vinyl

5. Apply the transfer tape to the image.

6. Carefully apply it to the coaster.

7. Repeat to the other coasters and enjoy!

Remember that the permanent vinyl takes 24-48 hours for the adhesive to cure. That being said I suggest not using these for 2 days. After that, that’s pretty much it. I have been using the ones that I’ve made for several months and they are still perfect. When their dirty you can just spray them with clean and then you’re all good. Until next time, stay craftalicious everyone!
