DIY Rustic Snowflake Coasters

Make these rustic DIY Snowflake Coasters in minutes to give as Christmas gifts or for your own holiday entertaining!

This is such a fun and easy craft. Remember making paper snowflakes? I made four different paper snowflakes and used them as stencils to make a pattern onto wood slices.

The wood slices I bought worked really well for coasters. They were similar in size, smooth, and evenly cut to the same thickness! I put a link to the ones I used in the supplies list below.

To make your own unique snowflake coasters, check out the how-tos and photos below.

Supplies

• 3.5″ to 4″ wood slices
• Modge Podge (Matte)
• 8.5″ x 11 paper
• A small foam applicator brush
• A small paintbrush
• Glitter
• Scissors
• Stencil repositionable spray adhesive
• Polyurethane or another clear coat sealer

How to Make DIY Snowflake Coasters

Start by making paper snowflakes about the size of your coasters.

Next, lightly coat your snowflake on one side with a repositionable spray adhesive. Make sure to do this outside where it’s well-ventilated.

Note: If your adhesive goops or looks drippy, use a napkin to remove some of it before placing your snowflake onto the wood slice. I noticed that over spraying made it difficult to peel up the paper later.

Now use a foam applicator to brush Mod Podge over the snowflake just where the wood shows through.

Sprinkle glitter generously over the Mod Podge.

Tip: Use a paper plate so you can catch the excess glitter and put it back into your bottle. Then, gently pat the glitter layer with a paper towel to help the glitter set into the glue.

Let everything set for a few minutes, then remove the paper snowflake layer and tap off any excess glitter.

After a couple of hours, your coasters should be dry and you can use a dry paintbrush to gently brush away any excess glitter. Don’t worry if you can’t get it all though.

To protect your coasters, paint on a coat of clear polyurethane or another wood sealer.
