Have you ever gone “Pin Happy” on Pinterest? Whether you are an avid pinner or have never been on Pinterest, anyone can create the craft for this week! Here is a step-by-step instructional guide on how to make cute, crafty coasters. You can make these coasters as a gift for someone special or just for fun! Good luck!

Homemade coasters
Materials:
Corkboard (can be found at Target, Hobby Lobby, etc.)
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Fabric

Scissors

Step 1: Trace a circle on the corkboard using a cup or a similar item.

Step 2: Cut out the corkboard.

Step 3: Use the cut-out corkboard to trace a circle on the fabric.

Step 4: Cut out the fabric.

Step 5: Put hot glue on the corkboard.

Step 6: Center fabric on the corkboard.

Step 7: Let it dry and make as many as you want!
