Many of you have already seen these little chalkboard coasters I made. Just wanted to give the full tutorial in case any of you are up for making them. Cheers! Super Simple Project. Here is what you will need: 1. Chalkboard spray paint 2. Four ceramic tiles . . . use black if you can find them so chips in the paint won’t show. {Home Depot} 3. Cork Board {Target sells a set of four boards for $4.00 . . . I had one left over so it’s now a jewelry holder . . more on that later!} 4. Glue gun and glue 5. Chalk 6. Ribbon to tie them up if you are giving them away as gifts. 1. Spray tiles with chalkboard paint. Wait 24 hours and then put chalk all over them. Wipe clean with a cloth. 2. Trace tiles and cut out cork board to put on the bottom of each coaster. 3. Attach cork with glue gun. You are ready to go! They can serve as both coasters and name cards! Or just as a place card They can also be used to label your buffet. 4. Tie them up and they are ready to give as gifts. You can add a monogram or cute message to the one on top! Of course a chalkboard coaster might not be the most absorbent coaster you will ever use, but with a stemmed glass or with all their other uses they sure are fun. And I am all about a good conversation piece at parties.
