Hey guys! So this is a super quick and cheap project that I LOVED making! And, I’m thinking they are a great gift idea for under $5!
I love my Chevron Stocking Hangers so much and I wanted to continue the same pattern with another project. Being that I have been using the same boring, black, rubber coasters for years, it was time for a change. Off to Home Depot I went!
I purchased these bone colored, 4×4 tiles for a whopping $0.16 each!
I also purchased these felt pads for about $3.50.
I cut a chevron print, from my silhouette, with contact paper and stuck the print to each tile. I followed up with gray acrylic paint. PEEL OFF THE CONTACT PAPER BEFORE THE PAINT DRIES:)
When the acrylic paint dried, I used several coats of Mod Podge to seal the print. Make sure each coat has dried completely before applying another.
Finish off with a felt pad in each corner.
ummmm LOVE:)))
They give me the false sense that I’m all put together in the morning when I sit down to drink my coffee…..I’m quickly brought back to reality when we are making a mad, screaming dash out the door as we are running late for school:) It is nice while it lasts though!
Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this simple and inexpensive idea!
When do you peel off the contact paper? Before or after the paint has dried?
Thanks!
These are too cute…I’m not “pinning” this idea because this is definitely what my friends and family are getting for Christmas this year!
Did you peel the contact paper off after you painted it gray?
ADORABLE!! SO going to try this! Thanks for the tutorial!
These are great! I’ve seen several tile coasters around but yours look so professional!
What a great idea! I want to try these:) Great Christmas gifts!!
OMG! Adorable. Love it!
Love those! I have to remember to pick up some contact paper. Such a great idea to use that as a stencil.
Cute Ashley! I have a question though. I bought some cute contact paper a while ago and tried cutting with no luck. What settings are you using on the Silhouette and are you loading it on the carrier mat? Thanks!
Even the kiddos can help with this, thank you, you guys are really digging the chevron lately. Oh and I agree with Jan, not very successful with the contact paper in my Silhouette either.
These are fabulous
) And would make a great Christmas gift!
Very chic indeed. I would love those for a gift, I’ll tell you that! Nice job!

Nice job, Ashley! It would be fun to make these in coordinating colors for family and friends if you know their color of choice! Thanks for sharing!
These coasters are really eye-catching! Love them!
Love it… That is such a great DIY idea… I might have to use it
Thanks for the great tutorial… Time to get out my Cricut and make a design!!! Great gift idea and bonus… it is inexpensive too…
Blessings,

I have fallen in love with these coasters!!! Chevron is one of my favorite prints right now and to see it on a coaster…Awesome way to add a special touch of pattern to any room! Thank you for sharing
Today, I am sharing this with my lovelies… http://polkadotbungalow.blogspot.com/2011/11/marvelous-mondayno-10.html..Thank you again!

Just another reason why I need a Silhouette! Very cute
These look great! Thanks for sharing.
My contact paper didn’t leave very crisp edges– i found that a wipe down through the parts that weren’t painted left me with the edges I wanted! Very cute idea. It inspired my friends and I to do a coaster exchange where everyone makes one set with one color but we trade so we have a set of all different colors. So fun!
Who doesn’t love a chevron pattern? These are beautiful. I like the way you wrapped the design around the sides.
It’s time for me to refresh our coasters. Replace them would be a better word. We bought them on our honeymoon, 20 years ago! Thanks for the pretty tutorial.
Those are SO cute. Thanks!
I absolutely love this idea. I bet if you kept a close eye on craigslist you could get some real bargains on tiles if you were doing lots of these.
I am obsessed with DIY coasters! There are so many different things you can do. Here are the ones I made last week. I am giving away a set to a random commenter, so check them out and leave a comment =]
