Use a Coaster!!!

Want to protect your table from those awful water rings but dont want to spend a ton of money?! Here's how!

Go to Home Depot or Lowes and get tile flooring, they are normaly about $0.36! (yeah not even a dollar!)
Even though the pretty shinny ones look great don't get them! The pant won't stay on them very well.

Next...Grab your favorite paint!


Paint whatever you want! Make it yours!


To make sure that your don't coasters scratch your table add felt feet.



Next Just spray them down with a coat of shellac to make them water proof.
 There you go! Your very own DIY coasters that your friends and family will love!

I used these for a fun project at a friends wedding shower, the girls had a blast and the coaster were adorable! Get creative and make them your own!

Hello Strangers!

Sorry I haven't posted in so long but as some of you know I just got married 3 weeks ago! The wedding was perfect and I'm hoping to post pictures soon! We also just got internet 2 days ago :)

These next few postings will be all over the place....some about our new home, some about the wedding, and some about some fun crafts! I really hope you enjoy everything to come! :)

Today I thought I would introduce you to the newest member of our family...TANGA!

I want a dog so bad I can hardly stand it but we can't have one where we live :( however we adopted the sweetest little kitten last week!

So cute right!?!

Of course we I had to make her a place to sleep (even though she prefers mine) so here's what I came up with...

What is that you ask? It's an old suitcase! Just grab an old suitcase and toss a blanket or shirt in and BAM home for kitty!

Hope everyone has a great day and I promise to post some new and fun things super soon!
