DIY Coasters - Dollar Tree - SSSVEDA DAY 23 

That may be but if the Dollar Tree has with cork on the bottom already - worth buying theirs.

they don't come with the cork or backing though right? So we would still need to buy the cork...and cut it and glue it...so it's added cost and steps.... for $1 they're pretty much set. Do you have any suggestions on what the overall cost would be to buy the .15 cent tiles and the rest of the material needed for them and time to make them ready for customizing? 🤔 I certainly like the. 15 cost...but then I think of the rest of the cost to buy, cut, adhere and prepare the tile....

@@alygarden9875 my cork comes off due to the heat

Yup, I just stick a felt dot to each corner and BAM 💥 instant coaster under a dollar.

Spray paint them, or brush paint with dollar tree paint

😉😉

THANK you! Geesh!

Winner! That was a lot of talking

Ik super long intro 🙄

Thanks lol .. I was wondering

What type of paper do you think she used to put on the coaster?

If they are doing this as a business and or a hobby, it's more cost efficient to just buy an Epson / HP Eco Tank printer.

I think you guys live America or some where here don't have these store thanks dear

They are so fun! We love having them on our fridge! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Thanks for watching! Let us know if you try it!! :)

Enedina Hernandez cheaper to buy from Lowe’s and amazon has cork backs to glue on

you can order on amazon...

Should clean with alcohol to get oils from your hands off.

Menards has them for .11 cents...

I think you mean tiles

I paid 8 dollars for a box of 100 4x4 ceramic tiles at home depot. Cork bottoms with adhesive are about $18 for a pack of 80 on Amazon. At Walmart a 4x4 photo is 25 cents. Happy crafting! :)

Have you tried it?

@@TheRaviebaby I tried it with regular paper. The paper crinkles and it's not pretty. I would recommend using a thicker type of paper if possible.

@@ktn315 card stock?

I think I've seen someone do it on another channel and use regular paper. I guess I'd try it on one and see.

I would just get some twine and do it that way.

Amazon.com has them.

Yes we have put drinks on ours with no issues. Just be sure to seal the edges

No...you need resin for hot tea or coffee cups

Beware of hot drinks

NO

+Hannah McConnaughay they do not lift. If you make sure to mod podge the edges well they do feel like they came that way.

This Life, By Us I tried it and did it correctly but some of the edges look like they are going to lift

+Hannah McConnaughay are the pictures maybe a little to close to the edge? Also make sure to be generous with mod podge around the edges. 😊

Amazon

They can just make sure you get a good deal with the mod Podge at the edges. 😊

Adair Browne where do you live, we have no coasters in Dollar Tree or Home Depot here in Ontario Canada

No I has not gotten sticky.

Might get sticky because it is not heat resistant - be careful with coffee or tea people - warning!

I would use a credit card or craft roller to smooth out the wrinkles

Don't make bubbles

Photo

Yes of course!

The ladies are using actual photo prints. If they were making paper copies to use on the coasters, then it should be from a laser printer.

if not real photos, you should use a laser printer, the ink jet printers will run when the ink gets wet with mod podge

You can get them at any hardware or home improvement store for under 25 cents

This is Draco’s mama I have but there was some words on them . I wander if you can put photos on top of the words.

Hello, I have not tried that I wonder if it might make the picture a little cloudy if you do that though. Perhaps a resin might work if you wanted something thicker on top, but I also have not tried that. :)

@@ThisLifeByUs ok thank you

Yes, epoxy works fine over it :)

You have to use epoxy or your drinks will stick

Resin will seal it plus give it an amazing glass like finish...😍

Oh noo! We have put both hot and cold drinks on them.

miguel1manuel2 Me too! When I stacked them they kinda got stuck together and left marks from the cork :(

You need to cover with epoxy resin..these girls do not know what they are doing..sorry to say

Matte mod podge is perfect. I’m not sure what you mean by regular ink, but yes these are just regular pictures printed on picture paper.

Okay thanks so much. I was just asking if I could just get them printed like normal from Walmart because I have seen a lot of people talk like you have to use laser or special paper.

Amazon

You have to seal with a heat resistant coating so the heat from the coffee cups doesn’t melt into the coaster.

You can spray with clear enamel

@@leighannromo5703 The point is that mod podge doesn't work to protect the coasters

@@treemaidenart I was stating that if you spray clear enamel over the modge podge it will protect it

Correct. Clear gloss enamel spray will solve this issue.

There's a new dishwasher safe mod podge out now - not really dishwasher safe but more resistant to water and heat but still not hot tea or coffee
