Description :

Christmasy colours typically red and white is what we have actually captured. Beautiful handmade Christmas coasters that are great to gift on this occasion or simply use them in your homes. This project teaches you how to make diy coasters. These coasters once made can be gifted to people on special occasions.

STEP 1
We need to get the designs onto the coasters so for that draw few Christmas motifs on an A4 sized white paper in four squares the same size as that of the coasters. We have chosen a Santa face, a reindeer, stars and hollies, you could choose any other design that comes to your mind.
STEP 2
Firstly, you need to prepare your coasters, so paint two of the coasters in Crimson and the other two in White. Leave them aside to dry completely.
STEP 3
Trace the Santa face and the stars on the red coasters with white carbon paper and similarly trace the reindeer and the hollies on the white coasters with yellow carbon paper. The coasters are now ready with their respective designs and will now have to be painted.
STEP 4
Start painting the designs on the coasters with Crimson, White and Pearl Metallic – Gold. Leave them to dry thoroughly. This completes your coasters, which have been handmade and customised to the occasion of Christmas. Gift them or merely use them as part of your table presentations. We have made coasters keeping the festival of Christmas in mind, but you could choose any theme that you wish and make these coasters. Gift them to special people, friends or family looking at each one's space décor and favourite colours.
