Welcome to The Poker Club at West Houston's comprehensive guide on how to create your own DIY map coasters. If you're looking for a fun and creative way to add a personal touch to your home decor, then look no further!

Why Choose DIY Map Coasters?

Map coasters are a unique and stylish addition to any home. By creating your own DIY map coasters, you have the opportunity to customize them based on your preferences and memories. Whether you want to showcase your favorite travel destinations, hometown, or even places you aspire to visit, these coasters serve as both functional and decorative pieces.

Materials You Will Need

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Mod Podge or clear varnish
  • Cork or felt pads
  • Maps or printed images
  • Scissors
  • Paintbrush
  • Clear acrylic sealer

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Materials

To start, gather all the materials you will need for this project. Make sure you have a set of ceramic tiles, maps or printed images, Mod Podge or clear varnish, scissors, a paintbrush, and clear acrylic sealer. You can find most of these materials at your local craft store or order them online.

Step 2: Cut Out the Maps or Printed Images

Once you have your maps or printed images, carefully cut them into small squares or circles that will fit nicely onto the ceramic tiles. Make sure to trim any excess paper that might hang over the edges.

Step 3: Apply Mod Podge to the Tiles

Using a paintbrush, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge onto the ceramic tiles. This will serve as the adhesive for the maps or printed images.

Step 4: Attach the Maps or Printed Images

Place the cut-out maps or images onto the Mod Podge-coated tiles. Press them firmly to ensure they adhere properly. Smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles using your fingers or a clean cloth.

Step 5: Seal the Coasters

Once the Mod Podge has dried, apply a layer of clear acrylic sealer on top of the maps or printed images. This will protect the coasters from spills and give them a glossy finish.

Step 6: Attach Cork or Felt Pads

To prevent the coasters from scratching your furniture, attach cork or felt pads to the bottom of each tile. This will also provide better grip and stability.

Step 7: Let Them Dry and Enjoy!

Allow the coasters to dry completely before using them. Once they're ready, place them on your coffee table, dining table, or anywhere else you'd like to add a touch of personalization. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your new DIY map coasters!
