I hate to play favorites, but I think I saved the best handmade holiday gift idea for last this week — painted cork coasters. Using plain cork coasters, I painted stripes and color blocks in pink, teal, and gold, and then finished off the top of them with a matte sealer to keep them waterproof. You could play around with color combinations that match your gift recipients’ home and style to make a customized gift, and pair them with their favorite wine or spirit. Are you trying any homemade gifts this year?

I love this! I’m trying to make lots of homemade gifts this year and this is a great addition to the list.
Oh, I love this! They look great 🙂
‘morn’in Miss Kate – Ok, so I went to Ocean State Job Lots, bought the spoons (FYI, $2.99 for 5), came home and go started with my wooden spoon project. I taped them off with painter’s tape, spray painted the stripes and was very surprised with I took the tape off. They all bled . . . a lot of blurred lines. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
Good question Cece! 1) I used acrylic paint and then sealed it after with a clear finish — so I had a little more control over the paint. 2) make sure the tape is sealed down very good and then don’t peel it off until it’s 100% dry — you might get extra bleeding if it’s not totally dry.
very cute!! fun color combo too. i like how they arent too xmas-y
