Then keep reading for a delicious cocktail recipe that will have you eager to use your new accessories ASAP!

DIY Cork Coasters

Materials

  • Cork coasters
  • Acrylic paint
  • Paintbrush
  • Scotch tape

Steps

  • Place strips of tape across the top of each coaster in a fun, geometric pattern.
  • The tape will keep paint out of these areas, so the more tape you use, the more unpainted cork you’ll have on your coasters.
  • Once you have your patterns laid out, paint the uncovered areas. While you can use as many colors as you want, we’d suggest a maximum of three different colors.
  • Let your handiwork dry, and once you’ve done so, carefully peel off the tape to reveal your new, colorful coasters!
