I've got a DIY tutorial up at Design*Sponge today: coasters made from vintage postage stamp images. A quick and easy handmade gift idea, perhaps? Click over to the site to get the instructions along with a printable PDF for making your own.I should add: I wondered how colorfast these would be, so I soaked one in a bowl of water for an hour. No bleeding occurred. I've been using them for weeks now, and they still look good.
Those look great!! I'll definitely check it out.
ReplyDeleteawesome!! I can't wait to try this:)
ReplyDeleteSo cute- what a great gift idea too!
ReplyDeleteThose are super-cute!
ReplyDeleteBeyond adorable! Love those stamp images and I can't wait to try this out!
ReplyDeleteSo perfect! I just made a burlap stocking complete with vintage postcard images printed on muslin (using the freezer paper method) for a teacher gift. These would be great to stuff the stocking with! I'll just have to test it for colorfast issues. :)
ReplyDeleteA note on colorfast-ness: I soaked one of the coasters in a bowl of water for an hour as a test, and it didn't bleed at all. I've been using them for weeks and they're working well.
ReplyDeleteThey are very cool, what a fantastic idea. You could make a special set for Australia Day or those people that had those personalised stamps done could use them too, or the Valentines Day stamps...last year they were really pretty!
ReplyDeleteLoved this idea! The tutorial is very clear too. I'd love to try it out.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome!! My list of projects just got a little longer!! :)

ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this project, my jaw dropped. I love it when the two worlds of cute and easy come together and make magic! And it doesn't hurt that I have needed the supplies in house. Now off to my craft room to whip some of these up...
