This is a super easy project to make. It doesn't cost a lot of money and it makes a wonderful handmade Christmas gift!

There's nothing better than receiving a labor of love for Christmas.

To complete this project you will need:

Square tiles (I got mine at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore)
Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray Paint in Gold
Rust-Oleum Chalked Spray Paint in Tidal Pond (or you could use a different colour of Chalked Spray Paint)
snowflake Christmas ornament (I got mine at Dollar Tree)
Rust-Oleum Clear Gloss (optional but will seal your project)
Hot glue gun

Step 1

Spray paint your tile with the Rust-Oleum Metallic Spray Paint in Gold and let it dry completely.

Step 2

Place your snowflake ornament on your gold tile and then spray paint over top with Rust-Oleum Chalked Spray Paint in Tidal Pond.

Step 4

After your layer of Tidal Pond has dried, remove your snowflake and you will see the gorgeous snowflake on your coaster.

What makes these coasters look aged is the reaction between the Metallic Spray Paint and the Chalked Spray Paint. As it drys you will start to see little flecks of the gold showing through the Tidal Pond colour. This is a really cool effect!

Step 5

Once the paint is completely dry, you can spray your coaster with a coat of clear gloss. This will just protect your coaster from being damaged. Also, if the bottom of your coaster is a little rough, I recommend using a hot glue gun to create some little feet.

To do this, just flip the coaster over so the bottom is facing up and expel a little bit of hot glue into the four corners, let dry and you will have some "rubber feet". Another alternative is that you can cover the bottom of the tile in felt or cork.
