DIY: Marble and Gold Coasters

One of the first crafts we ever made were pallet coasters made from stained popsicle sticks. They matched perfectly with another one of our favorite crafts - a dark stained crate table. But as our tastes changed (as you may have noticed), we decided that it was time to revamp our coasters to better match our new minimalist style. Marble and gold have been our two go-two textures, so we used materials we already had from other projects to make these coasters!
Materials:
  • Metal Plates or Chalkboard Circles from Michaels ($0.50 each)
  • Marble Contact Paper
  • Gold Foil Kit (including adhesive and sealer)
  • Xacto Knife
  • Ruler
  • Paint brush

Instructions:
  1. Clean off all the stickers and residue off the metal plates.
  2. Cut enough contact paper to cover the metal plates.
  3. Carefully stick the contact paper onto the plates. Cut off excess using an Xacto knife.
  4. Paint gold foil adhesive using rough brush strokes on one edge of the coaster.
  5. Carefully place gold foil on the adhesive. It will stick to your fingers, so try not to get adhesive on your hands.
  6. Rub off some of the foil to get the brush stroke texture.
  7. Paint sealer over the gold foil to protect it.
