Washi Tape Coasters

Are you enjoying your summer?  It’s my favorite season! We BBQ with friends and family in the patio almost every weekend .  It’s a blast!  Typically in the summer months I like to decorate in fun vibrant shades especially when entertaining, but I hate to spend cash to do it.  So….I dug up an old set of inexpensive coasters and updated them with paint and washi tape to give them a new look for summer!

This basic set of coasters have been with us for a few years, they’ve worked very well!

In order to give them a new look I gathered my materials:

Washi Tape (I used 4 rolls)

Acrylic paint

2 Foam applicator brushes

Exacto knife

Mod Podge (I used the “Dishwasher Safe” formula)

Step 1:

First things first, always start with a clean surface!  I wiped the coasters and holder clean.  Using one of the applicator brushes I gave the coasters a few coats of the paint.  I went with ‘Vivid Orange’ by Folkart, it’s so bright–I love it!

Step 2:

Next, I applied the washi tape in a repetetive pattern to the top and bottom of each coaster, and trimmed the excess off with the exacto knife.

Step 3:

Lastly I added a couple of coats of Mod Podge to seal the Washi Tape in.  I chose the ‘Dishwasher Safe’ formula because although I doubt I’ll run the coasters through the dishwasher, I’m sure they will get their fair share of moisture, after all, that’s their job!

I used the same process for the coaster holder.

These look really great with my new outdoor plate set from Pier 1.  In the year round SoCal sunshine, I am sure I will be using these Washi Tape Coasters long after the leaves start to fall.

Do you have an old set of coasters that can use a little love? If you don’t, you can pick some up at the thrift store, or any other discount store!

What have you ‘washied’ lately?
