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!}

I love your projects Linda, and this one is another winner! I haven't started a duct tape collection yet, but these coasters are just fabulous, and my younger set would love to make some themselves. Wouldn't they make nice gifts?
Thanks for sharing. Pinning. (And, yes, I remember what happened when I pinned your duct tape storage containers! 🙂 )
