Coaster Creation

I found the cutest monogrammed coasters in 2011. Bought several of them to give away as Christmas gifts and two packages for us because I’ve always liked things with our last initial, I loved the black and white look of them and I could feel a craft project looming.

Those coasters lived with us at our West Pond house from Nov 2011-July 2012, moved with us to Twins Court from July 2012-Aug 2013 and found a drawer here at Addisen Court. I thought I found the perfect opp to use them after we moved in by using some corrugated cardboard when we purchased new dinnerware but after buying several picture frames to fit my idea, none worked and the little coasters went back to their drawer…until today.

Last night we were at TJ Maxx and there, like magic, was the perfect frame–and for only $14.99. Gray, little squares that I was sure would fit and a little distressed. Love.

I couldn’t wait to get home and put the coasters in the frame but wouldn’t you know they were literally less than a centimeter too big. No worries though, Crafty Cat Nat got handy today and used a little razor blade and voila, the coaster fit perfectly and after two years my Coaster Creation is complete.

Pinterest worthy? I mean, I think so.
