Make fun and festive DIY Personalized Cork Coasters with this simple step-by-step tutorial!
I found some really cute painted cork coasters set at a local specialty gift shop recently and decided I would make my own.
So here are what I came up with! These coasters turned out so lovely I couldn't wait to share these with you all! 🙂
These DIY personalized cork coasters are classy and are perfect to give as hostess, new mom or even new college student gifts!
How to Make DIY Personalized Cork Coasters: Step by Step Guide
Supply list:
6 pack of cork coasters
paint (2-3 colors)
foam paint brush
stickers or tape (to make designs)
Directions:
- Lay the stickers in varying patterns over the top of the coasters. Press down to make sure there are no air bubbles that would cause the paint to leak underneath.
2. Dip your paint brush in the paint and apply a light coat of paint.
3. Keep your brush perpendicular to the coaster and lightly dab over the top. Gradually add more paint until the coaster is covered.
4. Carefully remove the sticker and set aside to dry.
5. Repeat until all coasters are finished.
Notes on supplies, techniques and total cost:
For this project, I used Americana Acrylic Paint
in Coral Blush and Sweet Mint, and FolkArt Enamel Glitter and Metallic Paint in Metallic Gold. The border and letter stickers from Paper Studio were from Hobby Lobby.
Also, if you noticed, I displayed the letter B two different ways. To do these, I simply cut out around the B and peeled the border off, like shown in one of the pictures. Then I was able to use the actual B itself to display the B.
I already had the paints and brushes at home so the total cost for me was $15.00. I spent $1.50 for each page of border stickers and $3.99 for the letter stickers (which were on sale for half off) and $7.99 for the coasters. If you need to buy paint and brushes, it will cost roughly $20.00, which makes each coaster cost only under $3.50. Not too shabby for a set of coasters that look like they were from a designer brand and that you can be proud to give to anyone!
So how do you like this DIY gift project? Would you make them yourself? Tell me in the comments!
I love how you incorporated different paints and stickers to make each coaster unique. It's impressive how you achieved a designer look without breaking the bank. I would love to try making these coasters myself and giving them as gifts to my friends and family. Thanks for sharing your process and cost breakdown!
These are so beautiful! I love the colours. I would never have thought about using cork as coasters.
Oooh, I love the idea of gold letters and designs on powder blue bg! I just don't know where to get plain cork coasters around here.
What a fun idea to make the coasters like this... Cork is the best material for a coaster.
Hhhmmm....I think these coasters look really cool and besides that, they are easy to make, going by your guidelines here. I look forward to painting them myself.
These are so cute! What a fun idea, and it would be nice to make as a gift too. Love the colors and styles you made.
I love wine cork crafts and this is such a treat for me. It will be fun making these!
These coasters are easy to make, even if you’ve never crafted before. Thank you so much!
I need to save our old wine corks and make these for unique decor or gifts. Thank you!
These are super fun! I am feeling crafty and inspired! These look easy and fun to make. Thanks for sharing!
These look link some awesome DIYs they would be fun to make as gifts or at a party I think.
This is very creative and wonderful. Something to add to the activities of the kiddos this vacation.
These are really pretty! I love personalized decorations and these are perfect to make now especially since it's summer time and we are drinking a lot of liquids!
This is a really cute idea. We need new coasters so I may attempt this!

This is such a cute idea and I love the way you did yours! I am definitely going to pin this!
I have never before made any coasters. This looks pretty easy to try out for my next DIY project. They are also just beautiful to have in the home.
What a cute idea! These would be such a great pop of color for a party, and a nice little favor for guests to take home, too.
I've been looking at our plain IKEA cork coasters for years and always wanted to do something with them. Hello fun weekend project! This looks like a great gift idea and fun little project for our home too!
Those are so unique and I love the design. This is a cute DIY and seems easy enough. I think this would make a great gift for my dad but I'll have to make one not so girly. Thanks for sharing.
These are super easy and something that would actually be used in my house. Definitely something I could conjure up and not mess up haha.
These are so cute! They look easy to make and affordable too. I can see making a set as gifts too!
These are so simple and really effective. They look so lovely and I love the idea that you can paint them to match your own decor!
These look so, so cute! I may have to have a go at making some myself 🙂

I love the design and love the idea that they are DYI. But what are these for?
I really like using cork coasters. These personalized cork coasters are so neat. The initial ones are my favorite!
These are so super cute and so unique. They'd make a really wonderful gift. So fun, i'd love to make some of these!
These look so creative! What a neat idea to make these as a thank you gift or the like.
I could see how cool a useful gift like this would be.
I love making crafts like this and it's definitely something that I would make at home. It's fun and it's beautiful as well!
It is so great that you can see something and say I can make that and you do. Yours are probably better than the originals.
I have a bunch of these at home right now and have never thought to decorate them! This is a must for me to do!
What a cute project! I do have brushes and paint, so this looks like a fun, doable project. Thanks for sharing!
