Christmas Countdown - 7 weeks until Christmas

Here is a cute and very inexpensive gift that you can make for just about anyone on your list.  It is a coaster made using a miniature wooden pallet from the Dollar Tree, Designer Paper, and Mod Podge. I used some retired Stampin' Up! paper with a craft theme - since I made these coasters for several of my Stampin' Up! friends who are attending #OnStage At Home with me this weekend.

I cut the DSP to fit on each of the slats of the pallet. I used a foam brush and applied a thin layer of Mod Podge to the pallet.  (I was lucky enough to find a bottle at the Dollar Tree.)  Then I carefully applied each piece of DSP to the pallet, rubbed it to make sure it was glued down well and to remove any air bubbles.  I applied another thin coat of Mod Podge on top of the paper, making sure to cover the top of the coaster completely.  I allowed it to dry well - and then applied another layer of Mod Podge.  I let it dry and repeated the process several more times.  If I hadn't waited until the last minute to make these gifts - I would have applied a few more more layers of Mod Podge.

If you have any questions about how to make this project, please do not hesitate to CONTACT ME.
