Easy DIY String Coaster!

This coaster is really easy to make, and it looks really good! It only needs minimal supplies, and it complements every interior. You can also paint and decorate them if you want!

Supplies

You will need:

-A hot glue gun

-Hot glue sticks

-Larger diameter string

-Scissors

Start Your Coaster

First, you’ll want to get out your string. Grab the hot glue gun, then apply a little glue to the tip of the string. After it has cooled a bit, roll it around with your fingers to coat the whole end. Apply a little glue to the side of the glue coating, then pinch the un-glued portion of the string onto the fresh glue. Apply glue to the other side and wrap the string around. Keep applying glue to the side and wrapping the string around until the coaster has reached your desired size. Keep the coaster string attached to the main spool of string to ensure that you don’t run out.

Seal Off the Coaster

Next, cut the end of the string so it is no longer attached to the spool. Apply a little glue to the end and push it into the side of the coaster. Apply a little more glue so that the end adheres to the rest of the coaster. Next, squirt a bunch of glue onto the top of the coaster. Get out your 1 inch cardboard square and spread the glue so that it covers a portion of the coaster. Repeat until the entire coaster top is covered in hot glue.

Finish Your Coaster

Next, peel the coaster off the table. It might stick to the table a little, but it will come off. You can spray paint the coaster or decorate the coaster if you wish. Enjoy!
