DIY Concrete Coasters

DIY Concrete Coasters

To create these modern and chic DIY Concrete Coasters, you must collect old cardboard boxes for the coaster molds. We found that broken-down cereal boxes worked best for this project as they were small and had relatively flat surfaces to ensure an even concrete level. The cardboard molds are removed after the concrete is cured and left overnight. Once dried, the coasters were painted with metallic paint to provide “aged” detailing to each one. This was a very easy and affordable DIY project!

Turn your cutting mat over and use the backside because the burlap will probably leave fuzzy fibers on your cutting surface.
