COASTER ART - Recycle Project


Using the foil rounds that protect our dairy products, I washed and dried 4 of them. I ran them through my Cuttlebug embossing system and adhered them to each side of blank pressed paper coasters that I had put through my Xyron to coat them with adhesive on each side. I then flush cut the foil around the edges, and finished the edges with a silver Marvy Metallic marker. I then used gold and Chinese red Metallic rub-ons, for desired tones. It was a fun project and I was happy with the end result.
