10 Minute Tile Coasters

We always have a shortage on Coasters. I buy, I make some, yet it never seems to be enough. These 10 Minute Tile Coasters are the perfect solution – quick, cheap and durable.

I made these using Duct Tape {yes, Duct Tape yet again!} and chose the most colorful colors as these are specifically for the kids’ rooms. Bright colors, even though they are past their 20’s … One can only hope they will actually see these and use them !

We have lots of these old-fashioned 150mm x 150mm tiles, which we removed from the kitchen about 2 years ago and I thought I’ll use them as they are quite strong. Roy cut each tile into 4 squares {no need for the edges to be 100% – the tape will do it’s thing!}

Here I was staring at 4 rolls of my ever growing Duct Tape – can’t use hearts for Dimitri’s room, and the houndstooth is not bright enough. Denim and Sour Apple it was !

The above is fairly self-explanatory – the bottom side of the Tile Coasters and how I cut and folded them over.

 Ta-Da ! 4 Coasters done in under 10 minutes – I really do like Duct Tape…

Strong, waterproof, bright colors {which the kids’ would hopefully notice!} and a very relaxing little craft.

I do love the Denim Duct Tape and would be making some more for the rest of the house – to scatter wherever everyone always seem to put down a glass – but I will team it up with some more “grown-up” colors/patterns {No, I do not think just over 20 is grown-up yet – especially when they are in their parents’ home!}
