Everything is better with unicorns, right? I tend to think so, so I made up this easy set of ceramic tile coaster for our living room, but these would be a fun addition to a new apartment, dorm room, or anyone who gets a kick out of whimsical and on-trend home decor. They’re sassy, they’re colorful, and best of all, it’s a DIY that doesn’t break the budget! If you’re a paper crafter already, chances are you have everything you need, just stop by the hardware store to pick up some inexpensive ceramic tiles to make this project.
I die-cut these shapes with my Sizzix Big Shot, and used the negative space to give the unicorn a glossy, domed look. If you’re not a fan of unicorns, you can of course use any shape you like! I’m thinking about making a second set for football season with our team’s logo. It’s a really versatile design, and a fun twist on making tile coasters. I’m sharing the full tutorial at the Core’dinations blog this week, so stop by, say hi, and check it out!
Hope you guys are having a great week, and I’ll see you soon!
How fun are these! I love that you love unicorns as much as I do. :) It’s fun to find the adults out there who like them. Veronica Mars made me love them back in HS. :)
Did the Dimensional Magic really stay in place inside the lines? Or did it spread out a little, but not really matter? I was thinking of doing the Dimensional Magic for a shape and then taking the paper (vinyl) back off. Is it accurate enough that you think that would work?
It does stay within the lines. In fact, I have used DM on top of glass tiles. It’s thick enough that you can add it all the way out to the edges of the tiles without it dripping over. That said, I don’t know if it would work on removeable vinyl? I’m not sure. I feel like it would cling to the vinyl and just get messy if you take it off wet, and if you take it off dry, it hardens up so well that I’m afraid it would hold your vinyl on. It’s worth a try, but I think I’d try letting it harden before removing the vinyl. And let me know how it goes!
