Denim Coasters

This is a really great project to make with leftover denim. I was once given a piece of denim from my sister's old jeans to use for any craft that I make, and this is the one: denim coasters!

Materials

What you'll need to make this coasters are...

  • old denim scraps
  • cork board
  • X-acto knife
  • hot glue gun
  • black marker
  • ruler
  • scissors
  • Decorations: 3D puff paint / gems / ribbon

Prepare Cork Board

This project makes about 2 denim coasters. First, measure and cut out two (2) 4-inch squares of cork board.

Add Denim Squares

From there, cut out 2 pieces of denim scraps the same size as your cork board squares and glue them together.

Decorate

Once they're done, they're ready to be decorated! You can draw designs on the coasters with 3D puff paint (like I did here with flowers with rhinestones in the middle), and leave them out for the paint to set. You can also create a border with a few pieces of ribbon and a few gems glued to the sides of the board. Either way, you're the one in control of this upcycling project here!

Ready to Use

Once everything is dry, they're ready to use! Make as many as you like as gifts or use them for your own house for decor!
