From drinkware to vases for floral arrangements the mason jar has played a big part in weddings and has staked its claim as the go-to for rustic glam. The lid of the mason jar takes center stage in this charming DIY project which features your wedding monogram!
By simply using a wide mouth mason jar lid, a sheet of corkboard and your wedding monogram, you have a sweet set of coasters to add to your coffee table. I like the rustic look that these galvanized tin lids have but you can easily use regular wide mouth mason jar lids!
What you will need:
- wide mouth mason jar lids, about 3.5 inches in diameter.
- a sheet of corkboard with an adhesive back
- your wedding monogram as a stamp
- ink pad
- iron
Steps to make your coasters:
Step one: Trace the bottom of the lid onto the back of your corkboard sheet. Cut the circle and trim the edges to fit inside the lid.
Step two: Use your monogram stamp (if you don't have a stamp you can get one made at www.rubberstamps.net) and stamp in the center of the cork circle.
Step three: Place a sheet of paper over the cork and press the warm iron down for 5-7 seconds. This will set the ink so it doesn't smudge or run!
Step four: Peel of the back of the cork and place in the center of the lid. Press firmly to make sure it sticks.
There are a variety of stamps that you can use to personalize your coasters whether they're for your wedding or just to have at home. These DIY coasters would also make a sweet gift for your wedding guests!
Happy coaster making!
