Coasters are kind of the unsung heroines of summertime. They don’t take center stage like the stately pitcher filled with fresh lemonade or the tall, frosty glass of pink-hued spritzers, but rather they sit unassumingly in support of the inevitable drips that come from the simple pleasure of enjoying a cold beverage on a hot day.
Today we’ve rounded up six of our favorite coaster DIYs from the archives, not only for possible weekend projects, but also for inspiration to dream up your own design. Coasters are a relatively small DIY to tackle and the personalized possibilities are almost endless. I’m a big fan of customizing plexiglass with paint pens or colored paper designs on the bottom and then adding a bottom layer of felt. Whatever materials you choose to work with, these practical and decorative workhorses will get a lot of use in your home this summer! –Caitlin

We love these beaded coasters, even though they were designed for hot beverages. With a little engineering imagination, they can be mounted on cork, felt or another material so prevent drips from hitting the surface. See the full tutorial right here.
