Blogging for as long as I have been, you would think that at this point I would have remembered to take a “BEFORE” picture of these coasters. Take my work for it, they were ugly. They had a snowman holiday scene on them and needed to be refreshed and repurposed! I am VERY into my typewriter keys theme right now and thought why not make these coasters look like worn out typewriter keys. I am pretty happy with how they turned out. If you look closely you can still see an outline of one of the snowmen. I am not sure if I could have sanded them down beforehand to eliminate that. Next time I will try that. But, right now they have “texture” and I am fine with it. Same technique was used that I helped me create my Typewriter Keys Wall Hanging. I spray painted the coasters black. Let them dry. Stenciled on my letters, and then framed them with the rim of a smaller in diameter circle of paint. They I sprayed them with a sealer. Fun I think!

The only limitation on what words you can spell out is how many coasters you can find to re-purpose. I was limited to four letters here. Wish I was a better Scrabble player because “wine” was all I could come up with. :)

I think WINE was perfect to spell out, Lisa! Great makeover of old coasters. I may have to look at the ones I see at the thrift differently now!
The only thing...
I don't need a coaster for my wine because it's always in my hand. LOL.
Hahaha. I crack myself up.
Lovely work, as usual.
What an excellent idea! How come I never think of this stuff? Love it :-)
