I recently realized that we don't have many coasters in the house. But there is an easy fix to the problem - simple clay round coasters save the day! And my tabletop from too many of the coffee cups that I consume recently.

Summer is in full swing here and we are having fun, enjoying warm days, and dream of the fall.

I have a few huge projects coming up and quite excited about it!

These are so simple, easy, and cheap that literally, anyone could do it. But let's get things moving.

 

Materials

  • clay (I made a mix from Just Orange and Chocolate )
  • something round, I used this cookie cutter set)
  • gold leaf paint ( I got mine a long time ago, but I'm sure it was cheaper in Michaels)
  • brush
  • rolling pin

CLAY COASTERS

Instructions

STEP 1

Mix clay as per instructions. Or purchase clay of the desired color originally from the store.

I like Sculpey clay, the one where you need to bake it.

I like this pottery color but it doesn't seem Sculpey makes it anymore, it was discontinued a while ago. So I took 5 parts Sculpey III Just Orange (1634) + 1 part Sculpey III Chocolate (053). You can find a link for mixing discontinued Sculpey colors here.

STEP 2

Make a pancake from clay, using a rolling pin. Take something round to make the circle of the size that you want.

STEP 3

Bake clay as per instructions.

STEP 4

When it's dry and ready, take washi tape or frog tape and tape the design that you like. I just chose a few simple lines of gold leaf. I also painted trim with gold leaf.

STEP 5

I added a small layer of cork sheet on the bottom to prevent the clay from scratching the tabletop. If you don't have a cork sheet, you can use felt.

I think these simple clay coasters look super cute! I'll make another batch soon since two are clearly not enough. I feel they are a perfect addition to my boho-inspired new office. I love the combination of pottery color, greenery, and bright wall design.

I hope you enjoyed reading about these cute simple clay coasters and will go make yourself a few.
