After running some errands a grabbing lunch with the guys, we had a pretty low-key night. I don't really enjoy doing nothing all weekend, which Rusty has come to find out. We have been wanting to make these coasters from beer cases that I had pinned a while ago for his man cave. We decided that it would be fun to make them this weekend. We had to modify the original instructions since we didn't decide to do it until 8:45 on Saturday. The only store open was Walmart, so instead of getting ceramic tiles we decided to get cork board and cut it into squares ourselves.
These coasters are SO easy to make. You can find the original instructions for the coasters here http://atticlace.blogspot.com/2012/12/7-days-of-gifting-day-3-for-him-dont.html?m=1
We improvised and all we used was the cardboard from 6 packs, mod podge, cork board, and a X-acto knife.

- Cut your cork board into 9 even squares.
- After cutting the cork board, cut the beer cases so that they are the same size as the cork board.
- Once you have cut the cork board and beer cases, use the mod podge to adhear the cardboard to the cork board.
- Do this about 4 times and let them dry
Then you are done, its that easy!

We have been collecting beer cases for this, but I am sure we will want to
continue to make more as the summer goes on
The finished products!
Happy Sunday Funday :)
