While I was making the DIY Instagram coasters last week, I felt the need to get sparkly. My Mother In Law is in love with the color purple and I had some glitter on hand from a rogue trip to Hobby Lobby. Since the Instagram coasters were so easy, I figured making some cool glitterati types should be just as mundane. It was!
Step 1: Place some newspaper down and place the tile on top. Turn over the tile and place a dot of hot glue on each corner. This will help the coaster not scratch any tables when used.
Step 2: Once the glue is dried, turn it over, and on a clean tile, wipe on a heavy hand of mod podge. Does this remind you of Kindergarten yet? It should…
Step 3: Sprinkle on LOTS of glitter over the tile, making sure to get every sticky crevice.
Step 4: Allow the glitter/podge to dry for at least 10 minutes. Go back over the coaster with another layer of podge to seal it all in.
That’s it y’all! It’s just that easy. These would be a great New Year’s Eve hostess gift with a side of wine glasses. Have a happy 2013!

These are CUTE! My son loves to play with glitter so this would be a great craft for him. Hmm…or maybe not.
I want to make some though!
You are a brave soul…..
This is such a fun project! I love sparkly things.
I make my own coasters with scrapbook paper, love this idea as well!
Aww that’s such a cool idea. I haven’t worked with Mod Podge yet I’ll have to look for some at my next trip to Joann
I love ALL THE GLITTER!!!! So fun! You rock!
Thanks Jenny!
Great idea. I actually thought to paint the coaster the color of the glitter so that none of the foundation color shows. I’m always up for a quick DIY project, especially when it involves glitter.
