DIY of the Week: Make Quirky Coasters from Newspapers

Happy Friday People! Hope you all are doing good! I'm in good shape and kicking off this summer with a lot of projects that are going to be up on the blog in the coming weeks. 

I love experimenting with the unused stuff lying around my house. The last time it was a quirky pen stand from newspaper. Based on the same concept are these quirky and colourful coasters made from newspaper. So simple & easy & if you simply love to keep colourful things in your home, these coasters are a must try.

To start off with these, you'll need thin newspaper rolls that we made in the last DIY, some old book covers, acrylic metallic paints & some fevicol. 

Cool isn't it? A super way to convert trash into treasure and what's a better way than using all the newspapers to create such beautiful pieces for your home! 

Hope you've enjoyed today's DIY and I hope you guys enjoy making it too!

Till then,

Have a super duper weekend! And Happy Crafting!

Fun Costers - Recycled from Old Book Covers

Hello people! Hope you all are good! I know its been long - have been tied up with loads of stuff! I somehow managed to sneak out of my busy routine to get this project posted.

Here's a really cool way of recycling cardboard from boxes and book covers! An absolutely fantastic way of turning trash into treasure! And simple too :) 

Here are the book covers used for these coasters!

I had to cut these into squares to make the coasters. For the finishing, I used acrylic paints (both matte & metallic), 3D liners and leaves from my garden to get the leaf stamps. These coasters are with metallic paint leaf stampings.

The back part is done in reverse colours with a metallic paint background and stamping in black. Here are the ones done with plain matte paints.

 The last lot done with 3D liners. 

A real simple and an awesome way to turn trash into treasure!!! So collect all those hardbound book covers and try this out. I'm sure you'll love it! 

My next project is on votives with leaf stamping! Sounds cool? Stay tuned to my blog!

Till then,
Happy Crafting!
