Remember when you were young and your mom would constantly remind you to put your drink on a coaster so it didn’t ruin the furniture? Whether you like it or not, you probably do the same thing to your children and maybe even your guests. We all have those pieces of furniture that we want to protect and cringe when we see someone put a drink down on it. Of course, you can go out and buy some coasters, but first of all, where’s the fun in that, and second of all, these 9 DIY versions are way cuter than any you can find in the store. Trust me, your kids and your guests will actually WANT to use these coasters because these are just so perfect.

1. Gilded Edge Agate Coasters
I am totally in love with these agate coasters. I have always been fascinated with agate ever since I was a kid. I mean, how could you not love the bright colors and interesting patterns they create? These coasters are incredibly easy to make because all you really have to do to them is paint the edges to achieve the gilded look. You can order the agate online, then paint the edges, let them dry, and set them on your table for everyone to admire and use.

3. Nautical Coasters
Nautical themes are very popular now a days when it comes to design and these nautical rope coasters would make the perfect addition to any nautical themed home.
