Giving your mother a homemade gift is probably the best way to display that love. A sweet and easy kid’s craft for Mother’s Day can be making a coaster and serving her coffee on it in the Mother’s Day morning. Your Mom or Grandma will surely love the thought put into this sweet gift.

How to Make

• Clean the tiles. Now, brush a coat of Mod Podge on their tops and edges.

• Place a piece of paper napkin on the top surface of the tiles before the Mod Podge gets dried out. Fold the napkin on each tile to cover the edges.

• Wait 3-5 minutes to let the napkins set on the tiles. Tear away or cut the excess napkin very carefully.

• You can smooth out the rough edges of the tiles by using sandpaper. However, you can also leave them as they are to give them a homemade, handpainted look.

• Apply three coats of polyurethane to the upper surface and edges of the tiles. Keep them for a while to let them dry completely between coats. However, this step is optional and you can skip it if found unsuitable.

• Now, it is time to give the finishing touch to the coasters. Cut out felt pieces equal to the size of the tiles and set them to the bottom of the tiles with waterproof glue.

Your coasters are ready! The advantages of this kid’s craft are it is not only very easy to make but also very cost effective.

Your Mom or Grandma will love to have a cup of tea or coffee served on these coasters!
