    Decoupage Coasters with Wood Slices and Napkins

    April 17, 2019 by Patti Estep 3 Comments

    Jump to How-to Card

    These decoupage coasters are super easy to create and make a great gift for someone you love or just a great addition to your home decor.

    Decoupage coasters and wine glass

    During the holidays I made decorative wood slice tree ornaments and had several slices remaining. One of my friends pointed out that they would make great coasters. At first, I didn't think that they were large enough but when we placed a wine glass on top it was easy to see that they were a perfect fit.

    Supplies for Decoupaged Wood Coasters

    Decorative napkins
    Wood Slices
    Mod Podge
    Sandpaper
    Dremel 2050-15 Stylo+ (optional)

    2 ply napkin separated

    How to Make Rustic Decoupaged Coasters with Napkins and Wood Slices

    Take any decorative napkin and pull apart the layers using only the top printed layer.

    Gluing napkin to coaster

    Brush a layer of Mod Podge on the wood.

    Position the napkin over the wood slice to cover the area of the print you like best.

    Sandpaper edge of coaster

    Use a piece of sandpaper to sand the napkin on the edges to remove the excess.

    Dremel tool on edges

    You can also use a Dremel tool with the sanding attachment to further sand the edges or random areas of the top to give the coaster a rustic look.

    Two decoupaged coasters with different napkin thickness

    Here's the difference between using the top layer of the napkin and one with the plain backing and the top layer.

    Pansies and viola coaster

    In this group, the top and left decoupage coasters were pieced together from different parts of the napkin. Sanding the edges removes some of the obvious breaks in the overall look.

    primula and lily coaster

    When you are finished with sanding add another coat of Mod Podge to seal the top.

    Tie a bunch of them up to give as a gift. 

    Wouldn't these make nice favors for a rustic wedding or shower?
