Father’s Day Gifts Kids Can Make — Colorful Coaster Set
Emily and I had a great time making these colorful coasters for a Father’s Day gift for Mark — and they are super-frugal to make!!
We used plain bathroom tiles from the hardware store, some Mod Podge, and tissue paper to make the set. I found the tiles at Home Depot for just $0.16 each, and we usually get packs of tissue paper at the dollar store — very inexpensive!
Invite your child over to paint a layer of Mod Podge over the tile.
Decorate with cut up pieces of tissue paper! We chose green & blue — two of Mark’s favorite colors.
Apply another layer of Mod Podge over top to seal the coasters.
Please note — If you happen to be working with Mod Podge and then do something like say…. Oh, I don’t know….sneeze. DO NOT grab a tissue before washing your hands, or you will make a great big sticky mess all over your hands and face. Not that it happened to ME, or anything…. I’m just sayin’. Ahem.
Notice the snickering from Emily after said Mod Podge/tissue incident.
Allow the coaster to dry completely. Flip the coaster over and stick a felt pad on each corner. We made a set of 4 of these because we were having far too much fun!
Give to Dad on Father’s Day to enjoy with an ice cold beverage of his choice!
Have fun!!
