Before getting these coasters, I had a set of six that would occasionally get outnumbered by the amount of people that came over. Ā With the holidays coming up, this dilemma is likely to occur more often, so I decided to prepare ahead of time and make sure that extra guests will have a cute and stylish coaster to place their drinks on top of. Ā Priorities, people! Ā ;)
I used adhesive gold vinyl, which you can getĀ here
Using a pencil, I traced out one of the coasters on the backside of the adhesive vinyl and drew out my design.
Then I cut out the pieces with scissors and applied them to the coaster.
How easy is that?? Ā The hardest part is coming up with the designs, but that’s also the funnest part. Ā For the final step, I applied a layer of Mod Podge on top to seal in and protect the vinyl.
I used lever punches for the polka dots and the large scalloped circle, but everything else I drew by hand, which wasn’t difficult at all since I kept the designs simple.
May I also mention that these would make a fantastic gift??
I tied the stack of coasters together with green ribbon and added a gift tag that I cut out from a scrap piece of cardboard. Ā At the end of the tag I applied a piece of black and white striped Washi tape. Ā Sometimes I wish I could keep things tied in bows all the time, as impractical as that is, but bows are just so cute.
Which coaster design is your favorite? Ā I’m curious to know!

I love the dots, but I think it is because I have been loving everything with polka dots lately! Great job. Amy!
Great idea, and a super cute and easy project! I couldn’t pick a fav, they just all work so well as a set!!
These are fabulous Amy! Thank you so much for sharing them at the Inspiration Monday party too, Pinning!! xo
I haven’t tried working with vinyl yet. Need to now! Love these, Amy. Your patterns are perfect!
I think I actually have all the stuff to make these, except I have cork trivets, not coasters. I love the DIY!
I mean, given the option of polka dots, I’ll rarely pick another favorite. But seriously love them all! I have too many coasters to begin with but am totally going to try this out for gifts. The gold makes it universally appealing :)
Love these!! So pretty and festive.

I didn’t know there was GOLD vinyl. This is so much fun and simple and GOLD and I love it!
How did these hold up? Have you had any issues with the vinyl peeling off after the coasters get wet?
