DIY Dollar Tree Coasters

What I love most about these DIY Dollar Tree coasters is that you only need five craft supplies to put them together. And one of those supplies is the coasters themselves!

To make this quick and easy DIY decoration for your home, you’ll need:

• Wood coasters: I found these wood plank coasters in the craft aisle of my Dollar Tree! They also had square wooden coasters that would work perfectly for this craft project.
• White paint: I used white chalk paint to paint the wood on my coasters, but any type of paint or stain will work with this easy project. Just pick the color or style that matches your current decor.
• Black vinyl and transfer paper: Any black vinyl and transfer paper will work for this project! You can even find black vinyl at Dollar Tree now!
• Home Sweet Home SVG file: Keep reading to see how to get your copy of this free Home Sweet Home SVG file to make your own coasters at home.
• Cricut: To cut the words for your wooden coasters, you’ll need a cutting machine to cut the vinyl. I use the Cricut Explore Air 2 and love it!

After the design is welded and resized, you can place your black vinyl on the cutting mat and cut the design.

How to Make Coasters at Home

Once you have your SVG file downloaded and the vinyl cut and ready to go, you can start prepping your coasters. Follow these instructions for turning plain wooden coasters into some cute farmhouse decorations for your home.

Before you start painting your coasters, I suggest using a piece of sandpaper to quickly smooth out each piece of wood. My coasters were pretty rough, so the needed to be smoothed out a little bit in order for the paint to look smooth.

After sanding your coasters, paint a few coats of white paint over the top of the wood. Just continue adding coats until the wood is completely covered. Then, allow the paint to dry completely.

While your paint is drying, use your weeding tool to remove the extra vinyl from around the design. Then, place a piece of transfer tape over the top of the vinyl to make it easier to transfer the words from the backing to the coaster.

Once you have your tape lined up, place the design on the bottom rung of the coaster, making sure to line it up in the center. Then transfer the vinyl to the coaster. And thats it! How easy was that?

Dollar Store Coaster Craft Tips

This easy farmhouse coaster craft is so easy to make! But if you have questions or issues as you’re crafting, keep reading! I have some quick suggestions for you to make this simple craft even easier!

These simple tips will make this DIY wooden coasters so easy to make:

• Seal the coasters with wax. If you’re using chalk paint to paint your DIY coasters, I suggest using chalk paint wax to cover the paint when you’re finished. Wax is a great way to seal your paint without taking away from the rustic matte finish that chalk paint provides. To seal your coasters and make them water-resistant, spread a think layer or two of wax or polyurethane over the top of the coasters. Allow them to dry completely before using.

• Add a more rustic look with stain. If you’d like to make your farmhouse coasters look more rustic, try staining the wood before you paint it. Then, after the paint has dried, use sandpaper to distress the coasters before you add your vinyl.
