DIY Gifts – Holiday Coasters
This month is all about DIY Gifts. I know, I know…..It’s early, but is it really?
Since I have a whole box of white tiles that a friend gave me, I thought coasters would be perfect! I knew that Cricut would have some stylish designs to choose from in their Design Space.
I chose my designs and clicked “Go”……it’s as simple as that. It tells you to load the machine, tells you to push the cut button. The Cricut truly is SO simple to use.
After I cut it, I placed a transfer paper over the vinyl design. This allows your design to pull up easily so it can be placed on whatever item you’re using.
I placed it on my white tile, then rubbed with the spatula looking tool before pulling the transfer paper up.
I placed small squares of cork on the back side to prevent scratching.
Deer heads are so on trend. This particular design was 3 different cuts. I cut my deer head, then I cut the wreath, then it had me cut the black for the wreath.
Another trendy design. So simple and could be used year round.
What’s easier than cutting a bunch of dots? Gold dots…….another favorite!
And one more deer. I couldn’t help myself.
Grab a pretty bow and wrap it up!
Inexpensive and cute!
Cricut wants me to tell you about their new Print and Cut feature! If you can print it, you can cut it with the Cricut Explore machine. This video shows you how.

Visiting from the TT&J link party and just wanted to say that these are so lovely! I am making some coasters for gifts this season and am scouring for inspiring ideas.
Kim says
Thanks for visiting!
Diane says
I am going to have to get some of that transfer paper. I do lots of cricut projects and that would help so much more. Thanks for sharing.
Kim says
Good luck! So much easier with transfer paper!
Diane says
Very nice project, but not dish washer safe I assume? Or are they?
Kim says
Probably not dish washer safe unless you sprayed or painted a polyurethane coating. I would just wipe these off however.
Liz says
Such a great idea! I love the idea of making coasters for the holidays! I made family coasters several years ago, but these are fresh and don’t get outdated (unlike the family pictures on our coasters. :))
Kim says
Thanks Liz! Yes, so easy and then you won’t feel bad not liking them in years to come. 🙂
