These simple geometric coasters are so easy to make! If you're planning to use them for a party, you can even make extra felt hexagons and use them as decorative confetti.
3. Floral imprinted coasters (h/t Sparkle)
These summery coasters were made by stamping patterns onto air dry clay and painting over them! The floral print is so pretty, but you could use any kind of stamp imaginable.
4. Map coasters (h/t The Country Chic Cottage)
Maps make such fun decorations, but if you don't have enough space to hang one on your wall, these coasters are a great idea! It would be so cool to personalize them with maps of where you live or your favorite place you've traveled to.
5. Chevron gilded coasters (h/t Sew Woodsy)
These chevron gilded coasters look so classy, but you only need a few simple supplies to make them! They're made out of tile, so they'd be perfect to use either indoors or outdoors.
6. Pebble & clay coasters
Bring nature into your home with pebble crafts. This coaster has the added element of clay, another earthy material. Nature heals us, so it's beneficial to incorporate bits of it into every day life. Coasters can be used every single day, so they are the perfect craft to highlight nature. Get the full tutorial here.
