I've always envied bars with personalised coasters so when our custom stamper from Maemae & Co arrived, I was inspired to use it to stamp and heat emboss some sparkly coasters for the CO+K cocktail bar!

You Will Need (8 things)

  • Custom Rubber Stamp from Maemae & Co
  • Wood Circles (I got a pack of 8 at Hobby Craft)
  • Black Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Glittery Embossing Powder
  • Matching Ink
  • Paper to catch your loose embossing powder
  • Heat Gun

Steps (12 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    For this you'll need a set of 8 wooden circles, large enough for coasters. You could cut your own but I managed to find a pack at Hobby Craft which were the perfect size.

  2. 2

    Lay a sheet of scrap paper on your desk and paint each circle with black paint and leave to dry.

  3. 3

    Apply a second coat of black paint if it needs it and leave to dry again.

  4. 4

    Gather your materials, you'll need a rubber stamp, glittery embossing powder and ink in a matching colour.

  5. 5

    Coat your stamp with lots of ink. Make sure it's coated evenly.

  6. 6

    Firmly press the stamp down in the middle of your coaster. Apply a nice even pressure across the stamp to make your design come out perfectly.

  7. 7

    Carefully remove the stamp to reveal your design.

  8. 8

    Cover the entire coaster with lots and lots of embossing powder.

  9. 9

    Pick up your coaster and shake off any excess powder on to the paper. Carefully lift the paper and shake the powder back into it's pot.

  10. 10

    Hold a heat gun a few inches away from your design and heat until all the powder has fused.

  11. 11

    Continue making a whole set of coasters.

    Pour yourself a stiff drink and enjoy your new coasters!
