Wood Slice Coasters

Early in our marriage, my husband and I would do out best to take everyone in our family a small little something at each family gathering. My husband has a large family, and over the years, the family has grown even more with the addition of children and grandchildren. But one of my fondest memories is our first Christmas. We gifted everyone these little metal puzzles. A room of almost 50 people was quiet for nine or ten minutes while they tried to figure out the metal puzzles. It was a fun night of laughter and togetherness!

My husband and I still like to give personalized items to our family during the holidays, especially those who come over to our home for a family meal. One way to promote togetherness and make family feel welcome in our home is to create small table favors for them that double as gifts. By adding customized Wood Slice Coasters, a fun straw, and a nostalgic glass bottle of Coca-Cola, everyone leaves with something in hand.

Supplies:

  • Wood slice coaster, plain
  • Versa-Tool wood burning set
  • Pencil or other way to transfer image or words to coaster
  • Optional, but recommended- Water sealant for the finished coaster

Please note: The Versa-Tool is aged for adults only! This is not a craft for a child. Use caution when creating this project, just as you would any other household project. 

First, decide what you want to place on the coaster. You may choose an image or words!

If you choose something complex, you may want to use the Transfer Point on the Versa-Tool to transfer a laser printed image to the coaster. If you are just using words, then you may write them on the wood slice lightly with a pencil.

Using the calligraphy point, burn the image into the wood.

Optionally, but for best results, use a wood sealant to seal the top of the coaster and the image/words.

 

Pair the Coca-Cola with the coaster and a festive straw. You can even tie it all together with baker’s twine.

Gift these individually or use them in the table setting at the dinner table. They will be a great conversation starter, and you’ll enjoy seeing the smiles on your families’ faces as they pop the top on their own Coca-Cola bottle.

    What a cute idea! I’d love one as a place setting at Christmas Eve dinner. Those Coke bottles and cans are my favorite every Christmas (even though I’m a Diet Coke lover.) 😉

    I actually bought wood coasters like these for $15! I thought they were so adorable. I just don’t know if I have the creative touch in me to create them!

    Would you believe we were just looking for some holiday coasters this past weekend?! I love your wood coasters and that they’re personalized. Hmmmm, thinking of some gift ideas now. Thanks for the inspiration!

    These are so cute! I didn’t realize that wood burning was so easy. I am gonna have to grab me one of those tools the next time I’m in the store. My daughter had been asking about wood burning because my dad uses this tool on his gourd art.

      You can use your 50% off craft store coupons on them, too! I got mine for very cheap with my coupon.

    I’ve never tried wood burning, but those coasters would make a perfect gift for my parents, who own a cabin in the mountains! {And now I’m headed to the fridge for a Coke because I can’t see one and not drink one. LOL!}
