Washer Art - Snowflake Coasters

If you're looking for DIY budget home decor, look no further than your tool box. You can recycle a bunch of old washers to make these beautiful, wintery home accents from I Love to Create. Snowflake coasters from washers make great Christmas party decorations on the cheap.

Materials:

• Aleene's® Jewelry and Metal Glue™
• Aleene's® Quick Dry Tacky Glue™
• Pencil
• Metallic spray paint – or any desired color
• Assorted flat metal washers (3-4 different sizes make for a great visual variety)
• Scissors
• Paper towel
• Craft foam sheet for background. You can use white or colored. I used red; blue would look great.
• Freezer paper
  

Instructions:

1. Lay out freezer paper on work surface. Arrange washers in a desired design on freezer paper. You may want to draw the shape you desire on the freezer paper as a template. Works best in smaller sizes up to 8” in diameter.
   
2. Use Aleene's® Jewelry & Metal Glue™ to adhere the touching edges of washers. Use paper towel to wipe off excess glue from top of washers. Let dry completely.
   
3. Peel freezer paper from bottom of washers and spray paint with metallic spray paint. Let dry completely.
   
4. Using pencil trace washers shape on craft foam sheet. Cut foam along traced line. Use Aleene’s® Quick Dry Tacky Glue™ to adhere foam piece to bottom. Let dry.

They are very arty and great for a party
