How to Make Your Own Disney Coasters | Blogmas Day 6

It's been a while I've done a DIY blog post and they are probably one of my favourite posts to do. I thought blogmas would be the perfect time to get creative, so I have been racking my brain to see what I could come up with. I still had my Disney calendar from last year and some old Disney books, so I I gave making coasters a go. They turned out better than I was expecting, so I thought I'd do a DIY post on how to make them! If you're struggling to come up with stocking filler ideas, this would be perfect.

What you will need:
❄Blank wooden coasters
❄Modpodge
❄A Disney image of your choice
❄Foam sponge brush

Explaining how to make something isn't my strongest point, so I apologise if these steps make absolutely no sense! The coasters are extremely easy to make, so hopefully you can follow along!

1❄ Place the wooden square flat on top of the image you want to be on the coaster, make sure it is lined up perfectly. Draw around the coaster with a pencil, that way you can rub the lines out if they are still visible.  

2❄Cut around stencil you drew around the picture, being extra careful as you want it to line up perfectly when placed on the coaster.

3❄Using the foam brush, brush a thin layer of modpodge onto the wooden coaster. I use a foam sponge brush because it has a straight edge, that way it is easier to ensure that the modpodge is applied smoothly.

4❄Next, gently place the image straight onto the modpodge. I like to use another coaster to smooth the picture out and to flatten out any air bubbles.

5❄Leave it to dry for at least 10 minutes.

6❄Squeeze a few drops of the sparkle modpodge straight onto the picture and smooth it out with the sponge brush. It tends to dry quite quickly, so I normally apply 3 to 4 layers of modpodge every minute.  I like them to be extra sparkly.

7❄Make sure that you smooth the modpodge around the edges of the picture, that way it prevents it from peeling away from the coaster.

8❄Leave it to completely dry!

These really are quick and easy to make and they are a lovely gesture to give to someone as little gift. If you do make your own Disney coaster, please share your pictures with me!
