Bling Coaster How To

Repurpose old coasters or cut cork to desired size.
Cover with glitter glue (gold works great!!)
The glitter will even cover a design on an old coaster.

Add plastic crystal bling to coaster. You can do this while the glitter glue is
still tacky, or wait for the glue to dry and apply bling with more glitter glue.
After glue dries, apply coat of some type of varnish
or polyurethane. For this coaster I used Triple Thick gloss
glaze by DecoArt. It goes on opaque but dries crystal clear!


Use foam brush to apply varnish or glaze to help set bling
gems and provide a smooth surface for your coaster.

Allow varnish to dry and Voila!! you have a cool bling coaster!!

CAUTION:  Do NOT use as a trivet!!!!
Heat may melt the plastic in the crystals!!
