No more unsightly drink rings!
When I was younger, I thought coasters were the dumbest, most useless things you could buy. As cooler days arrive, I like to keep a mug of tea or water beside my desk to keep hydrated. It was all fine and dandy until those unsightly drink rings kept showing up and I was scared of putting a hot cup on glass...leading to the revelation that investing in coasters might not be so dumb and useless after all.

Step 1
1. Download and trace out the template on the back side of your adhesive foam sheet. Repeat with your leather. I chose the hexagon and the circle because I only needed two coasters, but I've also included a triangle and square on the template.

2. Cut out your shapes from the foam and the leather.
Step 2
3. Peel off the adhesive backing and stick the foam to its corresponding shape. Trim if needed.

4. Decorate with your gold sharpie/acrylic paint. I did a color block design on the hexagon and an abstract one on the circle. Feel free to play around with different patterns!
Step 3
Super easy and (admittedly) useful! No more annoying drink rings! What's your hot beverage of choice on chilly days?
